Wow just had a flash back to when I saw them in Hollywood doing a gig and I was the only English person in the crowd so had some good fun interacting with the band and the poor Yanks didn't get 90% of it ;)
Flashbacks to when I was an awkward 16/17 y/o and only joined the dancers on the floor when a Twin-Tone ska band was played. Madness, The Specials, The Beat, Bad Manners, Selector. And the Untouchables, an LA ska band with a killer live show. And later Fishbone, of course.
Good times.
You are thinking of the 2Tone record label. although twin tone looks pretty legit in its own right
Oh yah, right, right.
The Replacements were on twin tone (at first).
