The Business is an English Oi!/punk band formed in the late 1970s. Their classic album "Suburban Rebels" became a seminal record for the Oi! movement. Their biggest hit song in recent times, "England 5 - Germany 1", (based on the result of a World Cup Qualifying match in 2001), became a football anthem for England. They also took an early stance against political extremism with their Oi Against Racism and Political Extremism ...But Still Against The System tour.[1]
