Buster blood vessel is a legend as well. There's a great Music documentary from the early eighties called "Dance Craze" which gives a really good representation of the Ska 2 tone music scene back in the day. I was too young but remember my old man dancing around the living room to Madness, The Specials and The Beat amongst others. It's just music to move your feet brother.

I remember the early 1980s very well and it's spot on. The director is Shane Meadows and he's also made other great films - 'Dead Man's Shoes' (with a superb performance by Paddy Considine) and '24/7' (with Bob Hoskins) to name but two. And... I have this song on vinyl, bought at the time it was released! :-) My favourite song by Strawberry Switchblade though is 'Trees and Flowers'. Probably the only pop song ever about agoraphobia...
