About this event
This summer, our School of Rock Philly Performance Program students took on "The Specials". The Specials is the groundbreaking 1979 debut album by The Specials, a record that helped launch the 2 Tone ska revival movement in the United Kingdom. Blending Jamaican ska and rocksteady rhythms with the energy and attitude of punk rock, the album captures the social tensions, youthful frustration, and multicultural spirit of late-1970s Britain. Its sharp political edge, infectious rhythms, and distinctive sound made it one of the most influential albums of the era.
