2 Tone (music genre)
2 Tone (or Two Tone) was a late-1970s ska revival in the United Kingdom led by Jerry Dammers and The Specials. It fused traditional ska music with punk rock attitude, energy and musical elements.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ska Revival )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Specials )〕 Its name came from the record label that Dammers founded, 2 Tone Records as well as a desire to transcend and defuse racial tensions in Thatcher-era Britain. Although 2 Tone's mainstream commercial appeal was largely limited to the UK, it influenced the North American ska punk movement (also known as third wave ska) in the 1980s and 1990s.〔(Selvin, Joel, ''San Francisco Chronicle'', "A brief history of ska" Sunday, 23 March 2008 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Third Wave Ska Revival )〕
==History==
The 2 Tone sound was developed by young musicians in Coventry, West Midlands, England who grew up hearing 1960s Jamaican music.〔("Jerry Dammers interview by Alexis Petrides" ), ''Mojo'', Jan. 2002. Accessed on 2-tone.info 18 October 2007〕 They combined influences from ska, reggae and rocksteady with elements of punk rock and new wave. Bands considered part of the genre include: The Specials, The Selecter, The Beat, Madness, Bad Manners and The Bodysnatchers.〔
The term was coined by The Specials' keyboard player Jerry Dammers, who — with the assistance of Horace Panter and graphic designer John "Teflon" Sims — created the iconic ''Walt Jabsco'' logo (a man in a black suit, white shirt, black tie, pork pie hat, white socks and black loafers) to represent the 2 Tone genre. The logo was based on an early album cover photo of Peter Tosh, and included an added black-and-white check pattern.〔Staple, Neville. ''Original Rude Boy''. Aurum Press, 2009〕
Most of the bands considered to be part of the 2 Tone genre were signed to 2 Tone Records at some point. Other record labels associated with the 2 Tone sound were Stiff Records and Go Feet Records. The music was especially popular among skinheads, rudies and some mod revivalists.
