The Specials, also known as The Special AKA, are an English 2 Tone and ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry. Their music combines a “danceable ska and rocksteady beat with punk’s energy and attitude“. Lyrically they present a “more focused and informed political and social stance“ than most other ska groups.
The band wore mod-style “1960s period rude boy outfits (pork pie hats, tonic and mohair suits and loafers)“. In 1980, the song “Too Much Too Young“, the lead track on their The Special AKA Live! EP, reached No. 1 in the UK. In 1981, the unemployment-themed single “Ghost Town“ also hit No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart.
