Led by manic frontman Buster Bloodvessel, Bad Manners brought a sense of chaotic energy and madcap fun to the 1980s British ska revival. The title of the band’s debut telegraphs their intent: the program was a mix of ska-inflected R&B and pop covers (“Caledonia,” “Monster Mash,” “Ne-Ne Na-Na Na-Na Nu-Nu”) along with some old-school ska (“Lip Up Fatty”) and a handful of original songs. Bloodvessel himself capitalized on his hefty physical frame and his large tongue, both of which played a prominent part in the band’s stage presentation.
