Bad Manners, a vibrant and enduring ska band, emerged from London in 1976, quickly establishing themselves as key players in the second wave of British ska. Fronted by the inimitable Buster Bloodvessel (Douglas Trendle), the band is renowned for their energetic live performances, infectious ska rhythms, and often humorous, offbeat lyrical content.

Their musical journey began in the late 1970s, drawing inspiration from the original ska and rocksteady sounds of Jamaica, as well as the burgeoning punk and new wave scenes. Bad Manners carved out a unique niche with their distinctive blend of up-tempo ska, pop sensibilities, and a healthy dose of anarchic fun. They signed with Magnet Records and released their debut album, 'Ska 'N' B', in 1980, which garnered critical acclaim and showcased their signature sound.

Throughout the 1980s, Bad Manners enjoyed considerable success, charting several singles and releasing a string of popular albums including 'Loonee Tunes' (1980), 'Gosh It's Bad' (1981), and 'Bad Manners Live' (1981). Their singles like "Lip Up Fatty", "Special Brew", and the cover of "Can Can" became anthems for a generation, solidifying their place in British popular music. The band's ska-infused rock and pop style made them a festival favorite and a consistent draw on the touring circuit.

Despite lineup changes over the decades, Buster Bloodvessel has remained the constant, leading Bad Manners through various musical evolutions while staying true to their ska roots. They have released numerous studio albums, including 'Real Special' (1983), 'Fresh' (1985), and more recent efforts like 'Fat and Frantic' (1992) and 'Sweet and Jealous' (1997), continuing to entertain fans with their signature high-energy performances. Their enduring appeal lies in their ability to consistently deliver infectious, feel-good ska music that transcends generations, making Bad Manners a true institution in the ska and British music landscape.

Bad Manners is a British ska band formed in London in 1976, led by Buster Bloodvessel. Known for their energetic live shows and blend of ska, pop, and rock, they achieved significant success in the 1980s with hits like "Special Brew" and "Can Can". They have released numerous albums and remain a popular touring act, celebrated for their enduring ska sound and lively performances.
