Our Take

Ah, CRASS, the band that defined punk rock in the UK with their anti-authoritarian ethos and DIY mindset. Their latest release, "Normal Never Was - Revelations - The Remix Compilation," showcases a fresh take on their classic tracks that will leave you both nodding your head and scratching it in confusion.

The remixes on this album are a mixed bag, ranging from innovative and captivating to downright bizarre. Take the opening track, a reimagining of "Do They Owe Us A Living?" which features distorted vocals and pounding beats that will make you question reality, in the best way possible. However, some tracks like the remix of "Punk is Dead" feel a bit uninspired, lacking the energy and rebellious spirit that made the original so iconic.

Despite its ups and downs, "Normal Never Was" is a bold and ambitious project that pushes the boundaries of what punk music can be. CRASS remains unapologetically themselves, refusing to conform to anyone's expectations. Whether you love or hate this remix compilation, one thing is for certain: CRASS is here to challenge the status quo and shake things up in the music industry once again. So, put on your safety pins and leather jackets, and dive into the chaotic world of CRASS. It may not be normal, but who wants normal anyway?

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.
