THE BUSINESS Doing The Business In Stores May 11th
Indisputably synonymous with anyone's recollection of the original surge of the British Oi! movement would have to be South London's working class
skinhead heroes, THE BUSINESS. Shrouded in a mess of urban folklore, bombarded with tons of irrelevant controversy, and full of more perseverance than
most new bands have in their little finger, THE BUSINESS are still here after 30 years. Having been instrumental in forming a musical aesthetic often
referred to as 'pub rock', 'street rock', and 'punk n roll', THE BUSINESS are indelibly marked by tales of European football games, motorbike
excursions, working class triumphs, bar room theatrics, factory life blues, and of course, the unavoidable anthems of the ever-scrutinized drinking
and driving.
Although, the lineup has changed over the years, the message and the sound has not. Micky Fitz and the boys are poised to keep soldiering forward and
keep the spirit of the streets rollin on into the future. Doing The Business, the band's first release for SAILOR'S GRAVE RECORDS, is a new four-song
studio EP with six additional live tracks, five of which are from the legendary Marquee recordings from 1982. This release is a new installment of the
band’s 30 years legacy and is a must-have for any fan’s collection. The cover art was illustrated by renown artist Craig Holloway (Agnostic Front,
Ramallah, Cold as Life, etc). The Craig Holloway designed cover art is attached for your viewing pleasure.
The track listing for the release is:
1. Mean Girl
2. Don't Give A Fuck
3. Till The End
4. 1-2-3
5. Loud Proud 'N Punk
6. Blind Justice
7. Suburban Rebels
8. Harry May
9. Smash The Discos
10. One Thing Left To Say
