A Certain Ratio - Forced Laugh

A Certain Ratio doesn't get as much print devoted to them as their Factory labelmates Joy Division and the Happy Mondays do. However, that does not mean they are any less influential. They were one of the first bands to have blended punk, Latin, and jazz together into a cohesive whole. Nowadays, this would be considered archetypical "post punk".

Their impact has been profound.
