The Beat je britská skupina založená v Birminghame v roku 1978, ktorej zvuk kombinuje ska, new wave, reggae a punk rock. Vo svojej tvorbe patrila medzi priekopníkov hnutia two-tone, ktoré oživilo záujem o jamajské rytmy v novej vlne.
Album I Just Can't Stop It vyšiel v máji 1980 na vydavateľstve Go-Feet Records ako debut kapely. Producent Bob Sargeant zachytil dvanásť skladieb, ktoré prepájajú energiu punku s tanečnými rytmami ska — medzi najvýraznejšie patria Mirror in the Bathroom, Hands Off... She's Mine a cover piesne Can't Get Used to Losing You. Album dosiahol 3. miesto v britskom rebríčku, v USA vyšlo na vydavateľstve Sire a I.R.S. pod názvom The English Beat, v Austrálii ako The British Beat.
Na albume hrali Dave Wakeling (spev, gitara), Ranking Roger (spev), Andy Cox (gitara), David Steele (basgitara), Everett Morton (bicie) a saxofonista Saxa.
