The Business is an Oi! / Punk band from London , formed in the late 1970s . Her album Suburban Rebels became a significant part of the already slowly fading Oi! Move. The song England 5 - Germany 1 (based on the 5: 1 away win in England in the World Cup qualifiers in 2002 against Germany ) is one of the most popular hymns of English football fans. The Business is committed as an Oi! Band against racism and political extremism .
On December 1, 2016, singer and founding member Micky Fitz died of cancer at the age of 60.
