The beginning of 2020 saw us all together making a reggae record before we each fell ill with COVID 19 and had to put the album on ice.

During the first lockdown, the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis radiated shockwaves of protest and debate around the world. So when we were able to meet again over the summer, Terry suggested that we make a different kind of record as a response to recent events.

2020 was the year of protest, wasn't it?

When we finally got back together in May 2021, we hadn’t played for a year and a half so to all be playing in a room together at the same time was an absolute joy. It was a big deal.

The urge to rail against what is wrong with the world and suggest how it could be better is as old as song, and The Specials have a history of protesting and fighting for justice and equality.
