If anyone's wondering, yes. They live up to the name. This English 2 Tone ska band saw massive international popularity in the 80s, when other ska band likes the English Beat and the Specials came to rise. Bad Manners' lead singer Buster Bloodvessel was notorious for his antics, a big, bald headed monster of a frontman with a huge tongue. They were kicked off BBC and Italian TV because of his excellent punk ways. Their first four albums have just been re-released, they've recently played their last show in England and now they’re touring all over Europe and the states. Buster has one of the biggest personalities we’ve ever tried to fit on StageOne.
"They played ska in its most unadulterated form with some superb musicianship." - Record Collector Magazine
FTC is ecstatic to have Bad Manners back on StageOne on June 3rd.
