Bad Manners.......there's nothing bad with this band. As one of the foundation of the British ska revival during the late 70's, they have peddled their own kind of ska to the skanking youths of Britain and around the world. Bad Manners became the novelty favorite of the UK pop scene during those times because of the bald and outsized frontman with a big tongue known as Buster Bloodvessel (Douglas Trendle) on stage antics. Just like their North London ska mates "Madness", their song is not heavily political as compared to the The Specials and The Selecter.
The tunes and the lyrics of their songs are more pop attuned, though there were some songs that stabs the British establishment. Bad Manners is still very active and doing the rounds in England, playing in different scooter rallies, colleges and their own music festival "Badfest." One of the foundation of the British Ska movement and one of the best and the baddest - Bad Manners! Play this loud!
