Put together by the infamous Buster Bloodvessel (aka Doug Trendle), Bad Manners are the best example of a band that withstood the test of time. While the Specials and Madness have had on-again off-again appearences, Bad Manners have stuck around by having an almost continually rotating number of members. Songs like "Can Can", "Feel Like Jumping", "Skinhead Love Affair" and "Mambo/ Ska no. 8" make Bad Manners a force of the 2 Tone era.   Buster's other main love is football.
