The Beat, formed in Birmingham, were key to the UK ska revival in the late '70s. Known for pop melodies and taut rhythms, hits include "Mirror in the Bathroom," "I Confess," and "Save It for Later." Fronted by Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger, they split in 1983. Members later formed General Public and Fine Young Cannibals. Reunited versions toured in the 2000s.
