Skinhead Tapestries
Description: What's his Name? Harry May. The Business were the best of the 80s English punk bands, them and the Anti Nowhere league just had it going on. No try hards, no posing just raw and simple punk rock and roll. Although it was not their first vinyl output, "Harry May" was the band's The Business' first single. Backed by "The Employers Blacklist," the group composition was produced by Ronnie Rouman and released on the Secret label. In a 1981 interview with New Mania, which included guitarist Steve Kent, Harry May was identified as a "well-known south London celebrity and 'Robin Hood,' in no way a villain, contrary to rumours spread by the Metropolitan Police."
Description: The Specials, also known as The Special AKA, are an English 2 Tone and ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry. After some early changes, the first stable lineup of the group consisted of Terry Hall and Neville Staple on vocals, Lynval Golding and Roddy Radiation on guitars, Horace Panter on bass, Jerry Dammers on keyboards, John Bradbury on drums, and Dick Cuthell and Rico Rodriguez on horns. Their music combines a "danceable ska and rocksteady beat with punk's energy and attitude".[2] Lyrically, they present a "more focused and informed political and social stance".
