The Business
Formed in Lewisham, South London, in 1979, The Business are one of the definitive bands of the British Oi! movement, founded by vocalist Micky Fitz and guitarist Steve Kent and closely associated with the working-class street punk scene that emerged in the wake of punk's first wave. Their debut album Suburban Rebels (1983) remains a cornerstone of the genre, and the band was notable within the Oi! scene for openly opposing racism and political extremism throughout their career. They remained active across four decades until Fitz's death from cancer in December 2016.
