The Beat
Who here loves the Beat as much as me? I Just Can't Stop It is of course a 10/10 masterpiece. Wha'ppen?'s quirky worldbeat and post-punk is almost as good, as is the new wavey Special Beat Service. New album Bounce is pretty cool too.

Re: The Beat
They have been getting some attention on BBC6 Music lately. And a member of another forum that I know recently met Dave Wakelin at a gig.
I didn't buy any of their albums but I remember their original run of singles. I liked most of them, 'Mirror In The Bathroom' probably being the best of all.
in the scheme of things they are an overlooked band.

Re: The Beat
You're right, Steve Lamacq had them on a special show last night that you might want to listen to - The Beat and The Selecter. Good fun:
