I first heard The Jays & Ranking Trevor's "Queen Majesty" in the cult film "Rockers" which showcased reggae culture in the 1970's. The movie also features Junior Murvin's "Police & Thieves", which was famously covered by The Clash on their debut album. This inspired us to make our own punk cover of a reggae classic. It was only after learning the song that we discovered it was a cover itself, being originally written by Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions.
