UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham, England.
The name “UB40” was selected in reference to an attendance card issued to people claiming unemployment benefits from the UK government Department of Employment. The designation UB40 stood for Unemployment Benefit, Form 40.
