Forming in 1976, Bad Manners exploded into the mainstream in the 80s with a slew of charting singles, quickly becoming favourites of the ska movement. The band became known for their energetic live performances, with frontman Buster Bloodvessel, an imposing figure with his bald head and long tongue, often causing chaos on stage.
Alongside peers Madness, The Specials and The Beat, Bad Manners had a stranglehold on the charts, with their songs spending an incredible combined 111 weeks on the UK Singles Charts from 1980 to 1983.
Bad Manners have released nine albums across their 50 years, with the compilation album The Height of Bad Manners their highest charting record, reaching #23 on the UK Albums Chart.
