Steel Pulse

Steel Pulse is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of XTC, Burning Spear, The Stranglers, Eddy Grant and The Police. Those roots explain a lot about how Steel Pulse arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Wailing Souls, Gregory Isaacs, Peter Tosh, Aswad and Dennis Brown, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Danakil, Damian Marley, Capleton, Tiken Jah Fakoly and Easy Star All-Stars, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 48 connections around Steel Pulse, reaching back through XTC and forward to Danakil.
