Crass was the anarcho-punk face of a revolutionary movement founded by thinkers Penny Rimbaud and Steve Ignorant. When punk ruled the waves, Crass waived the rules and took it further. Not just another iconoclastic band, Crass was a musical, social and political phenomenon. This work presents an account of the band that took punk to the limit.
This work presents an amazing account of the subversive band that took punk to the limit. Crass was the anarcho-punk face of a revolutionary movement founded by radical thinkers Penny Rimbaud 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 worlds press. Not just another iconoclastic band, Crass was a musical, social and political phenomenon. "They (Crass) sowed the grounds for the return of serious anarchism and the popularity of cnd in the early eighties." - Jon Savage, "England's Dreaming". Commune-dwellers who were rarely photographed and remained contemptuous of conventional pop stardom, their members 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.
