Heavy Manners were a ska band from the 80s, one of the earliest ska bands of the Chicago era. They played with an impressive array of national and international acts (The English Beat, The Clash, Third World, Jimmy Cliff, The Ramones, The Go Gos, Grace Jones, Peter Tosh), recorded tracks in the studio with Peter Tosh and released two records on Disturbing Records. Heavy Manners played a couple reunion shows at Halsted Market Days on August 11 & 12th, 2007.
