Upsetters were a Jamaican ska band that was active in the first half of the 1960s, formed by Roland Alphonso. Initially they recorded for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd at Studio One. Later they turned to the producer Leslie Kong to record. This group should not be confused with Lee Perry's Upsetters or Little Richard's The Upsetters.
