Protest Songs 1924 - 2012

The Specials enjoyed a triumphant 2019 with the release of the critically acclaimed Encore, their first ever number 1 album. This success came 40 years after they exploded onto the music scene and launched the 2 Tone movement.

Now, they make a very timely return with the release of their brand new album Protest Songs – 1924 -2012. Released through their new label Island Records, the album features twelve singular takes on specially chosen protest songs across an almost 100-year span.

This new album shows that The Specials still care, are still protesting, and are still pissed off!
