Steel Pulse - Handsworth Revolution

Another chance to hear David Hinds talk to Lammo about the making of Steel Pulse's 1978 debut Handsworth Revolution and we play the LP in full.

Every Wednesday we’ve been dipping into the archives to bring you an interview with one of our favourite acts, then celebrating their legacy by playing one of their finest albums in full… We’ve heard from the likes of Buzzcocks, PJ Harvey, Blur, De La Soul, The Prodigy and Florence and the Machine.
Now as we start Black History month, we reach for Handsworth Revolution the debut album by Steel Pulse. Amongst other topics the album deals with David Hinds' experiences of the racial prejudices of the time which we still see today and as such contains some strong racial language.
