Two Tone

Two Tone (or 2 Tone) is a style of music created by fusing elements of punk rock and ska. The sound was pioneered in the late 1970s by UK bands such as The Specials, The Selecter, The Beat and early Madness. Many of these bands were signed to the Two Tone record label which was set up by Specials founder Jerry Dammers, and was based around the Coventry area in the UK midlands.
