Which English city is the reggae band Steel Pulse from?

The English city that Steel Pulse comes from is Birmingham.

Steel Pulse formed in the Handsworth area of Birmingham, England, in 1975. The band grew out of the city’s Black British community and was initially built around David Hinds, Basil Gabbidon and Ronald McQueen, with other early members joining during its formative period. Handsworth later gave its name to the group’s influential debut album, “Handsworth Revolution.”

Birmingham was an important setting for the band’s musical and political identity. Steel Pulse combined roots reggae with lyrics about racism, colonialism and social justice, while also crossing into Britain’s punk and Rock Against Racism scenes. Their early live circuit included venues in London and Manchester, but those performance locations do not change the band’s origin. A common mix-up comes from the band’s international touring history or from associating British reggae generally with London; Steel Pulse is specifically associated with Birmingham.
