Against the backdrop of the demise of punk, social unrest and the coming to power of Margaret Thatcher, The Specials burst onto the scene with their unique brand of music in 1979 - sweeping up the nation's youth with their edgy, politically-charged message and iconic 2 Tone branding. 30 years later, as the band celebrate their anniversary with a reunion tour, their hard-hitting, poignant tales of teen pregnancy, knife crime and racism are still as prevalent as they always were.
