Album Notes & Community Reviews

Essentially giving birth to the anarcho-punk movement, the debut album from Crass is a staggeringly uncompromising, fiercely militant political manifesto. 'The Feeding of the Five Thousand' utilizes incredibly raw, chaotic noise and relentlessly angry protest vocals to launch a highly conscious, anti-religious, and deeply rebellious attack on British society.
