Информация о артисте
В конце 1979 года одни из лидеров "второй волны Oi!”, группа Business впервые извлекла новорожденный вопль из своего горла. Mickey Fitz (Michael Fitzsimons) — вокал, Steve Whale (Steve Kent) — гитара, Stuart Williams — бас и Pryor два года являли собой Business первого состава. Гpynna проповедовала левый патриотический Oi! с изрядной долей веселинки и, хотя в отличие от Blitz, они так и не прорвались в хит-парады, их статус и влияние на современников были заметны невооруженным взглядом.
Барабанщик Kev Boyce и бас-гитарист Mark Brennan (взамен Stuart'a, который отправился в группу Bandits At 4 O'Clock) пришли в группу непосредственно перед записью лонгплея 'Suburban Rebels’ и группа вступила в эру активной студийной деятельности, незаконченную и по сей день (с перерывом на каникулы 1990-1994 годов).

The Business is an English Oi!/punk band that formed in the late 70s. Their classic album 'Suburban Rebels' became a seminal record for the Oi! movement. Their biggest hit song in recent times, "England 5 - Germany 1", (based on a result of a World Cup Qualifying match in 2001), became a football anthem for England. They also took an early stance against political extremism with their 'Oi Against Racism and Political Extremism But Still Against The System' tour.
The Business first emerged off the streets of South London in October 1979, part of a new wave of British punk that was hardly 'new wave' at all. Instead, the Business, along with peers such as Angelic Upstarts, Blitz, and the 4-Skins, came out with a version of punk that was harder and more streetwise than ever, while still maintaining the anthemic qualities of the heavily influential Sham 69 and other punk pioneers. Commonly referred to as Oi or street punk, these groups' most obvious brethren comprised the early American hardcore scene, and they almost all sang about working-class pride and not backing down.
The Business had a particular knack for churning out anthems, as evidenced by their first single, "Harry May," and followed by such enduring concert staples as "Drinking and Driving" and "Smash the Discos," both included on the CD reissue of the classic Suburban Rebels album. The band was on and off again throughout the '80s, but returned for a strong extended stay in 1994 with Keep the Faith. As usual, the disc mixed tales of football and drinking with wry social commentary and working-class singalongs. The lineup of Micky Fitz (vocals), Steve Whale (guitar), Lol Proctor (bass), and Mickey Fairbairn (drums) released No Mercy for You in July 2001; Hardcore Hooligan followed two years later.
