Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a ferocious follow-up to their groundbreaking debut, 'Tribute to the Martyrs' deepens Steel Pulse's commitment to uncompromising socio-political commentary. The militant, dread-heavy basslines are countered by sophisticated horn arrangements and intricate vocal harmonies. It stands as a pinnacle of British roots reggae, channeling the racially charged atmosphere of late-seventies England into global resistance.
