About this product
Product Information
Crass was the anarcho-punk face of a revolutionary movement founded by radical thinkers and artists Penny Rimbaud, Gee Vaucher, and Steve Ignorant. When punk ruled the waves, Crass waived the rules and took it further, putting out their own records, films, and magazines and setting up a series of situationist pranks that were dutifully covered by the world's press. Not just another iconoclastic band, Crass was a musical, social, and political phenomenon. Commune dwellers who were rarely photographed and remained contemptuous of conventional pop stardom; their members explored and finally exhausted the possibilities of punk-led anarchy. They have at last collaborated on telling the whole Crass story, giving access to many never-before-seen photos and interviews.Product Identifiers

Invaluable insight in to a badly overlooked (even then) band that actually tried something different.
As a teenage Crass fan I enjoyed the band's output from the Feeding of the 5000 to Ten Notes on a Summers Day and points in between. I had made an internet search after digging out Feeding after part-watching the Stormzy Glastonbury set and thinking that I had heard all this before somewhere and with more political acuity to it (rather than fame based attention seeking rapped, as it were, up in a less than inclusive starting point) and being struck by nostalgia. In short, Crass were a lot better than I remember them being and arguably relevant to today's world as much as they were then. Penis Envy, et-al were forty years ago but still resonate. The political climate today could do with a response from a band that at least tries to put across an alternative way of doing things. The extinction issues and political farce that is Brexit and all other issues that affect us all are all too apparent. This book is a great read for anyone who was interested in the band back then and who might want to look to a different way of doings things now. Sure, the band could come across as being up their own fundament but they actually appeared to give toss and that is the key and the more one reads the book the more one is struck by what a fundamentally decent bunch of humans they were albeit flawed as anyone is. This is no a messianic hagiography but a rounded history of the band. I would highly recommend it to anyone who actually thinks a bit differently.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
