If any band deserves the title of punky reggae kings its Steel Pulse. They helped invent British reggae and their debut single "Ku Klux Klan: is definitely one of the great punk singles, without actually being a punk record. Steel Pulse were also instrumental in making reggae part of punk’s repertoire and were as vital to the explosion of punk as The Clash and the Sex Pistols.
