The Business - London - December 2007
Oi!, street rock, punk, whatever you want to call it, the name of The Business is bound to come up within 5 minutes of conversation. Having written legendary albums and tunes throughout their career, the new EP shows that the band is still absolutele THE BUSINESS! Micky Fitz, Trots, Tosh & Bundie prove beyond any doubt that this is the most formidable line-up The Business has spawned! These three new tracks showcase The Business at their best, hard yet melodic, in a class of their own.
The Business – London - June 1982
4 young lads were drinking in a pub called the Ship in Wardour Street London. It was the heart of Soho, but also the home of the Marquee Club synonymous with countless names of great bands that had graced its stage. We were in the pub waiting for the doors to open at the nearby club so we could watch punk band Chelsea together with the up & coming Adicts. I..d known Gene October for sometime as a face from the beginning of Punk and I..d always said to him that I would love to play the Marquee, however in those days there was a door restriction on Skinheads, unless they were known by the bouncers.The Business fell into the allotted catagory and went to watch bands there on a regular basis. This night proved to be somewhat different in that about 8pm Gene burst in through the pub doors shouting that he..d got us a 15 minute slot between Chelsea and The Adicts. How Gene managed to pull that one off remains a mystery, but to this day The Business were the only ever Oi band to play The Marquee which makes it even more apt that we were the last Oi band to play at CBGB..s. So the recorded bootleg that was unearthed by my mate Dom (East End Badoes) was due to Gene,Chelsea & The Adicts.
Cheers lads,

The Business - London - December 2007
Oi!, street rock, punk, wie auch immer du es nennen willst, der Name The Business wird in jeder Unterhaltung über dieses Thema in 5 Minuten auftauchen. Die Band, bekannt durch legendäre Alben und Songs, zeigt auf dieser MCD das sie nach wie vor 100% The Business sind. Micky Fitz, Trots, Tosh & Bundie beweisen hier, über jeden Zweifel erhabend, das die Band ein beeindruckendes Line-Up gefunden hat. Die 3 neuen Songs zeigen The Business von ihrer besten Seite, hart und melodisch, eine Klasse für sich.
The Business – London - June 1982
4 junge Buben waren in einem Pub namens The Ship am bechern. Es war im Herzen von Soho, London, wo auch der legendäre Club Marquee gelegen ist, in dem unzählige grossartige Punkbands die Bühne schmückten. Sie warteten im Pub darauf das die Türen des Clubs öffneten, um die Punkbands The Adicts und Chelsea zu sehen. Ich kannte Gene October seit einer Weile als eine Person vom Beginn des Punk, und ich sagte ihm immer wieder das ich liebend gerne mal im Marquee spielen würde. Wie auch immer, in dieser Zeit gab es keinen Einlass für Skinheads, es sei denn, man kannte die Türsteher. The Business gehörten zu dieser previligierten Kategorie und wir waren dort regelmässig, um uns Shows anzusehen. In dieser Nacht platzte Gene gegen 8 Uhr in den Pub herein, er rief uns zu er habe für uns einen 15 minütigen Auftritt zwischen Chelsea und The Adicts. Wie Gene das hinbekommen hat bleibt ein Mysterium, jedenfalls sind bis heute The Business die einzige Oi Band geblieben, die jemals im Marquee gespielt haben. Es ist umso kurioser, da wir auch die letzte Band waren, die im CBGB..s in New York spielten.
Cheers Lads,
