The Business

Deep house
Deep house

The Business is a Deep house act. Their sound grew out of Lars Frederiksen, Cockney Rejects, The 4-Skins, Punks Not Dead and The Blackout. Those roots explain a lot about how The Business arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Oppressed, Peter and the Test Tube Babies, Oxymoron, The Partisans and The Casualties, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Rancid, Vice Squad, Napalm Death, Warzone and Dropkick Murphys, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 19 connections around The Business, reaching back through Lars Frederiksen and forward to Rancid. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
