CAPTURED ON THE ROAD

Steel Pulse, the internationally acclaimed reggae band who began life in the back streets of Birmingham, England in the early Seventies are still very much alive today, nearly thirty years later. The band are renowned for their commitment to their musical message of fighting injustice, educating the masses and creating positive forces. They take their music around the globe and have a worldwide following.

Here's some photos from the band's past to enjoy [click to enlarge]. They include a number of publicity photos from the band's different record labels over the years. I would welcome any more photographs you might have in your collection.
