About this listen

 Discover how Bad Manners went from Woodberry Down Comprehensive School friends to ska revival legends with 111 weeks on the UK charts. This episode explores the band's 1976 origins, the punk movement's influence on working-class North London teenagers, and how Buster Bloodvessel and eight schoolmates rode the 2 Tone wave alongside The Specials and Madness—prioritizing pure joy over pretension.
