The Poilice는 1970년대 말 런던의 분주한 클럽 씬에서 촘촘한 3인조로 등장해 펑크 에너지를 레게에서 영감을 받은 그루브와 종소리 나는 기타 질감을 결합했다. 그들은 거칠고 에너지가 넘치는 공연과 기타, 베이스, 드럼 사이의 음악적 대화가 급박하면서도 선율적으로 느껴지는 분위기로 명성을 쌓았다. 그들의 초창기 공연은 영국과 유럽 전역에서 헌신적인 추종자를 얻었고, 관객들은 그들의 강렬한 그루브와 기억에 남는 훅에 빠르게 공감했다.
그들의 대표곡인 Born In The 50's는 그들의 거만한 리듬과 즉시 기억에 남는 훅을 포착해 거친 리프와 팝 훅의 조합에 대한 기본 템플릿을 제시했다. 1980년대에 걸쳐 잇따라 호평받는 앨범들을 발표하고 전 세계를 순회하며 인디, 포스트펑크, 클래식 록 커뮤니티의 기타 주도 밴드들에게 영향을 미쳤다. 비록 최고의 전성기는 1980년대였지만, 그들의 영향력은 클럽과 교실에서도 지속되며, 예비 연주자들이 그들의 rhythm, phrasing, and dynamic control을 배우는 데 남아 있다.
The Poilice는 groove, 날카롭고 선명한 기타 톤, 그리고 촘촘한 앙상블 플레이에서 만들어진 곡들을 소중히 여기는 연주자들에게 여전히 기준점이다. 수십 년이 흐른 지금도 그들의 rhythm과 melody에 대한 접근법은 DadRock Tabs를 비롯한 현대 록 연주자들에게 계속 영감을 준다.

They mix jangly clean tones with occasional lead fills and arpeggios, using chorus and light delay to thicken the texture. The bass typically locks in with the drums, creating a solid groove that makes even simple chord progressions feel big.
