Biography

Nominally, the Police were punk rock, but that's only in the loosest sense of the term. The trio's nervous, reggae-injected pop/rock was punky, but it wasn't necessarily punk. All the same, the Police certainly demonstrated that the punk spirit could have a future in pop music. As their career progressed, they grew considerably more adventurous, experimenting with jazz and various world musics. All the while, their tight delivery and mastery of the pop single kept their audience increasing, and by 1983 the Police were the most popular rock band in the world. At the height of its fame in 1984, the band splintered. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
