Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning as a posthumous singles compilation for the trailblazing English collective, this release traces their uncompromising radicalism from 1977 until their predetermined dissolution in 1984. It captures their stark, noise-driven punk manifestos that effectively birthed the modern anarcho-punk movement.

Genres

Descriptors: anarchism, antireligious, satirical, protest, compilation
