“Made In Britain” is the hot new album from seminal 2-tone band The Selecter®, who pioneered the ska revival movement alongside labelmates, The Specials & Madness in 1979. The Selecter was once described as “conspiring to make dancing the only way to walk”- 31 years later, that description still holds true.

The album mixes ska, pop and reggae in their inimitable style to reflect the social and political issues confronting Britain’s new multicultural society in 2011. Just as they gave a voice to disaffected youth across the racial divide in Thatcher’s recessionary Britain thirty years ago, The Selecter® returns to those seemingly insoluble questions of racism and social division, that still pervade today’s British landscape & in much of Europe, as evidenced by the recent tragic events in Norway..

The 2-tone legacy continues undiminished, because the idea of multiculturalism began when black and white youth, who had grown up in Britain decided to get together and make music that reflected their particular world. “Made In Britain” seeks to continue those ideas and that conversation and carry their message forward to a new generation. Multiculturalism rules!
