- Steel Pulse Steel Pulse started out playing authentic roots reggae with touches of jazz and Latin music and earned a substantial audience among U.K. punks as well as reggae loyalists. The band is one of Britain's greatest reggae bands, rivaled only by Aswad in terms of creative and commercial success.
Surprisingly, they were initially refused live dates in Caribbean venues in the Midlands because of their Rastafarian beliefs.

Steel Pulse is an awesome Reggae band. They do a great job of maintaining it's authenticity.
Love Hinds and Steel Pulse, seen them six times in concert, never disappointed. Blessings from a 70 ur old San Diego native now living in east Tennessee.
I've followed this band since the early 80s....And I've watched David Hinds evolve from a highly talented reggae front man with Steel Pulse in that decade to a Charismatic personality in recent times.....
My all time favorite reggae band!
Steel pulse were and are still one of the best uk reggae bands. Stay away from mainstream and keep the roots. Handsworth revolution and nyah love ❤️.
This band is Phenomenal! Good to see David speaking on the focus of the band and not getting involved in non-essential subjects.
Lions keep rising ❤
great video! true democracy is one of my favorite reggae releases, the production blows me away every time.
My favorite reggae band. The 1st time I heard Steele Pulse was ,Sounds called ravers,and I then bought the album and the 12 inch single. I then bought the Handsworth revolution. Then I met Selwin Brown and had a beer with him before they played in Melbourne Florida.
Been listening to Steel Pulse for 35 years. Seen them perform 4 times, always a pleasure. As a British boy I know very well Handsworth in Birmingham where they had their humble beginnings and look at them now! Plus I think David Hinds has the best dreads that I've ever seen. Aswad too were excellent in the 80's but unfortunately later on changed up their style. Another great video Ras Dennis.
Many thanks for your thoughts and honest feedback. Appreciated, Ras Dennis.
There are few places in the world like Handsworth. It is a true one off.
Steel Pulse still doing fine these days. Still one of my favorite bands from the UK apart from Aswad. Watching all the way from Vanuatu
Love raga music
I met him many years ago...( David ).... I drove him home..he was staying in briarwood... cool brother we spoke ALL the way from Manhattan...to Queen's...he was reluctant to go with me but i lived Close to Where he was Staying..and i am Originally from Brixton market London UK...So maybe that maybe made him decide to go with me...a very cool brother.
My album is .." true democracy"....
Big up yuself Reggae Gist Xtra
Steel Pulse is my all time favourite reggae band. When speaking of great British reggae bands; however, you omitted mention of UB40
In this great future cant forget the pass memories dont live like some people do
Great synopsis of my favourite band.
Good reggae history
Started listening to them my first year of art college back in '81, good times. Leggo Beast
In my book, Steel Pulse were the best UK reggae band of the era, leading Aswad by only the narrowest of margins. But what a glorious era for reggae!
You can say that again...👍
1 of my personal favorite live bands! Bless Up!
Indeed. So happy I got a chance to see them perform recently! @Reggae Gist Xtra, love your videos! Could you do one of Sluggy Ranks?
Yesssah
The fact that Mr. Hinds is fluent I would like to live "in your house"
I love Steel Pulse. They have remained a tight band over the years and excellent showmen! This here version a no King James Version!
Babylon the Bandit got me hooked back in 86
My first concert ever Oct 1990
San Juan PR
In my humble opinion
True Democracy is the best reggae album !!
I’ve been listening since 8 years old and got to hang out with them a couple months ago outside of House of Blues and they’re the absolute sweetest people you’ll ever meet (unless you meet Don Carlos😉)
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Ub40!
Brethren jamaica is a God bless country ! We not gonna please men just because a spenny, and make God a liar. Seeeeen? If the world dont wanna hear truth, then face the wrath of the almighty ! Which is the reaction of their works. Seeing no man or woman made themselves. Jamaica good !!!
Hey! Thank you very much for telling the story of Reggae music to the youth.
CZcams surely surfaced your video up to me 'cause those days I listen to Blues Dance Raid (czcams.com/video/Hf-yq_ekWSg/video.html) on repeat :)
Note : I have some of them vinyl records I bought when I was young myself.
Jah guide and protect!
The up & coming reggae artists can learn a thing or two from David Hines, too many jamaican artists kill their career with homophobic lyrics not realising touring is really where your monies made, usa has 50 states a band/artist can be on tour 4 9 whole months or more !!!!! Imagine the monies made. I gaurantee you shabba regrets his statements as he was signed 2 a good label & doing well at the time. I see foota hype cussing artists that dnt speak out against the Lgbtq but like David says there are more important issues in the world that needs 2 be discussed.
David Hines is obviously just an entertainer. He seems only to adhere to convictions that don't compromise his ability to entertain to make money. Jamaicans are not afraid of homosexuals nor do they have apologize for the fact that they don't agree with their agenda.
You're missing the point David made and explained
Keenly watch the interview again and try getting the point he's trying to make.. ...
I'm not missing anything. I just don't agree with his reasoning !
They that took the stand always knew what U.S. corporate interests was about , it was not new … they did it anyway !!! Hinds want to make excuse for his choices to stay silent 🤫… Hinds Bow to corporate interests & some younger ( protege’ etc..) ones following their lead !!
Man if you going to talk the thing talk it properly Steven Nisbet was one of the original founding members who played drums .
You cant a mention them man without Grisly wa the bumboclaart do you mi screw pan that part kmt🔥😡🎤🇰🇳🇯🇲
And there's also the unforgettable great Bass man Ronnie Stepper McQueen whose magical bass lines defined the band's sound too....In there right from the very start..🎸
He does mention Grizzly. Maybe just chill a bit man. The guy makes some great, informative videos.
Let's not forget the two members that helped Steel Pulse achieve the 1986 Grammy Bassist Alvin Ewen and Lead Double neck Guitarist Carlton Bryan...
Being void of overstanding is a capitalist crime. The plight of we the African people of the world is the primary subject to be discussed in Roots music.
reggae is straight, gay people are from babylon
Whether you approve or not Nuff gays and lesbians are involved in Reggae and Jamaica. Don't fool ourselves.
I get what David is saying, but hear this, as a Jahmerican, i will never support the gay lifestyle, and Jamaicans should not either. How to protect our culture-especially the music aspect of it is to buy our own product. Trust me, Jamaicans does not buy their own music. Here is the solution, If a reggae song can sell 500,000 copies in Jamaica there is no need to bow-down to anyone-PERIOD! And my brother David, Americans is more than opposed to the gay lifestyle.
