Bad Manners are an English 2 Tone band led by frontman Buster Bloodvessel. 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 revival bands such as Madness, The Specials and The Selecter filled the charts. After becoming popular in their native London, Bad Manners signed to Magnet Records in 1980 and became regular guests on television shows such as Tiswas. The band also appeared on The British Music Awards (1981) and Cheggers Plays Pop.
In 1985, they also appeared on The Time of Your Life, hosted by Noel Edmonds. Being closely associated with the 2 Tone movement (though never signed to 2 Tone Records itself), they were one of six bands featured in the 1981 documentary film Dance Craze. (Wikipedia)
