The Beat featuring Ranking Jnr
With 1980's Top 10 hits like "Can't Get Used To Losing You", "Mirror In The Bathroom", "Tears Of A Clown", "Ranking Full Stop", "Too Nice To Talk To", "Hands Off, She's Mine", and "Twist & Crawl", the Birmingham ska legends fused Latin, ska, pop, soul, reggae and punk rock into a near-perfect balance of pop melodies and taut rhythms with a clever blend of personal and political lyrics.
Continuing the band’s ferocious performances, the son of original lead singer and co-founder Ranking Roger, Matthew "Mini" Murphy (a.k.a. Ranking Junior from the Special Beat), joined the UK line-up in 2021 following the death of his father, saxophonist Saxa, and drummer Everett Morton.
