Steel Pulse are awesome...I discovered them back in the early '90's, and since I was pretty much all roots and culture reggae at that point, their rockers approach helped set them apart in terms of music. David Hinds is, I still think, extremely under-rated as a songwriter, and despite the rockers tone, they've kept the message pretty strong. Good songs especially are "1865 (96 Degrees In the Shade)," "Handsworth Revolution," "Islands Unite," and "Nyabinghi Voyage."
I tend to think that they sound better live than in the studio, so check out any live recordings of theirs that you can.
Peace and respecx...
