Our Take

Grab your anarchy flags and sharpen those safety pins, because CRASS is back with a bang in their "Best Before 1984" Crassical Collection. This legendary British punk band has been shaking up the establishment since the late 70s, and this album is a testament to their fearless and unapologetic approach to music.

From the moment you press play, you are bombarded with a cacophony of angry guitars, pounding drums, and fiery vocals that will make you want to march straight to the nearest protest. Tracks like "Do They Owe Us A Living?" and "Punk is Dead" are anthems of rebellion and defiance, reminding us all that the fight against oppression is far from over.

But it's not all doom and gloom with CRASS. Songs like "Sheep Farming in the Falklands" and "How Does it Feel?" showcase the band's quirky sense of humour and willingness to tackle controversial subjects with wit and intelligence. And let's not forget about the spoken word interludes that add a touch of poetry and thoughtfulness to the chaos.

Overall, "Best Before 1984" is a must-listen for any punk enthusiast looking to dive deep into the roots of the genre. CRASS may have disbanded long ago, but their music and message continue to resonate with a new generation of rebels and misfits. So crank up the volume, raise your middle finger to the status quo, and let CRASS remind you that the fight for freedom and equality is far from over.

About the artist

Crass

CRASS are the legendary anarcho-punk band that have been shaking up the music scene since the late '70s. Hailing from Essex, this eclectic group is known for their raw and politically-charged lyrics, relentless energy on stage, and DIY ethos that has inspired countless musicians over the decades. Formed in 1977, CRASS quickly became one of the most influential punk bands of their time, pushing the boundaries of punk music and challenging societal norms with their fearless activism. Their debut album, "The Feeding of the 5000," released in 1978, remains a seminal work in the punk genre, with tracks like "Do They Owe Us a Living?" and "Punk is Dead" capturing the disillusionment and rebellious spirit of the era. CRASS's unique blend of punk, noise, and avant-garde experimentation has earned them a cult following around the world. Their live performances are not just concerts, but immersive experiences that challenge and provoke audiences. Whether it's their confrontational lyrics or their chaotic stage presence, CRASS never fail to make a lasting impression. With a discography that includes iconic albums like "Stations of the Crass" and "Penis Envy," CRASS have left an indelible mark on the punk landscape. Their uncompromising stance on social issues, anti-capitalist ethos, and DIY approach to music continue to inspire musicians and activists to this day. CRASS are more than just a band - they are a movement, a force to be reckoned with in the world of music and beyond.
