The Dead 60s

The Dead 60s were a British band active from 2003 to 2008 that blended ska, reggae and dub rhythms with elements of punk and post-punk, drawing on 1960s Jamaican and British pop influences. Their sound combined upstroke guitar, prominent basslines and echoing dub effects to create an energetic, danceable style that featured in the UK alternative scene of the mid 2000s. The band is often associated with a revivalist approach that brought Jamaican-influenced rhythms into a contemporary rock setting.
