Bad Manners - Ska 'n' B
Album
Bad Manners approached the ska revival from a boisterous pub-rock and rhythm-and-blues angle. Led by the gargantuan presence of Buster Bloodvessel, this 1980 debut packs raw dancefloor punch on Ne-Ne Na-Na Na-Na Nu-Nu and Lip Up Fatty. Despite their comic reputation, the musicianship was ferocious, driven by David Farren's walking bass and Louis Cook's blistering guitar licks.
