Bad Manners are a legendary British ska band known for their high-energy performances, infectious rhythms, and the larger-than-life presence of their frontman, Buster Bloodvessel. Formed in 1976 during the UK’s 2-Tone ska revival, the band quickly became a household name with their playful hits and irreverent humour. With songs like “Lip Up Fatty,” “My Girl Lollipop,” and “Special Brew,” Bad Manners brought ska into the mainstream, earning numerous chart successes and a devoted fanbase.
Renowned for their wild stage antics and feel-good vibes, the band became regulars on shows like Top of the Pops in the 1980s, embodying the fun and inclusive spirit of ska music. Decades later, Bad Manners remain a live favourite, headlining festivals and touring internationally. Their enduring appeal lies in their ability to bring people together through music that’s impossible not to dance to, making them one of the most iconic and enduring acts in ska history.
