Founded Link Records

In late 1986, Brennan and Pryor founded Link Records, and with Brennan becoming increasingly busy running the label, the band split up again. In 1992, Fitz performed a few songs guesting with The Elite and he reformed the band to play a benefit concert for Bobby Moore , who had recently died of cancer. Brennan later started a new record label, Captain Oi! Records and did not join the reformed band. The band’s line-up then became Micky Fitz (singer), Steve Whale (guitar), Lol Proctor (bass) and Micky Fairbairn (drums). The band released a new single “Anywhere But Here” and new album Keep The Faith in 1994. After a number of tours in Western Europe, the band played their first gigs in America in August 1994. In 1997 The Business released The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth which was produced by Lars Frederiksen from Rancid . In 2000, the band joined with Dropkick Murphys to release Mob Mentality . The band’s final studio album, No Mercy For You was released in 2001. 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 and even appeared in the 2004 teen comedy EuroTrip . Despite various line-up changes, the band’s popularity continued to grow.
