Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the Crass Records orbit, the Scottish anarcho-punk band unleashes a fierce, politically charged assault on their debut album. Characterized by aggressive, distorted riffs and dual-vocalist diatribes against systemic inequality, the record embodies the raw, DIY ethos of the movement. It remains a furious, highly respected document of the 1980s British anarchist punk scene.
