The year was 1980 and Great Britain was then weathering a social and
political maelstrom, that bridged the mid-seventies and eighties
entire. It was a chaotic and tumultuous time in which to be young. The
confusion and anger of having to face escalating unemployment,
suppressive officialdom and exploitive pariahs had goaded an angry
backlash. Firstly with the original wave of punk in 1977 and then
again three years later with the second wave of streetwise bands of
which The Business are quite plainly the market leader.
From the early days and their legendary single "Harry May" (the story
of a hit man) to more lamentive feel of the current LP track "Always
Isn't Always" The Business never seem to lose that elemental
connection to the local environment. In this way their songs have been
as much about social documentation, as highlighting a reactionary
point of view. It's the living and breathing voice of south London
working class experience.
There's such a comprehensive feel to the role call of their
recordings. Astute observasionalist lyrics that highlight everything
from football, stories about local faces, common experiences about
dealing with officialdom, life's general ups and downs, right through
to the riots and other events that have sent ripples racing across the
social pond and the political cesspool. The Business will always be a
force to be reckoned with -- enough said!
