Bad Manners are an English two-tone and ska band led by frontman Buster Bloodvessel (Douglas Trendle) but currently also includes Lee Thompson, Tom Massey, Mark Hamilton, David Edwards, Chris Rand, Sam Adams, Stuart Garside, Chris Bull and Simon Cuell.
Early appearances included Top of The Pops and the live film documentary, Dance Craze. They were at their most popular during the early 1980s, during a period when other ska revival bands such as Madness, the Specials and the Selecter filled the charts. Bad Manners spent 111 weeks in the UK Singles Chart between 1980 and 1983, and they also achieved chart success with their first four studio albums with Gosh It's ...
