Our Take

If you were looking for music that punches you in the gut and makes you question everything you thought you knew about punk, then CRASS' The Feeding Of The 5000 is just the album for you. This anarchic masterpiece is a raw, unapologetic assault on the status quo, with its blistering guitars and scathing vocals cutting through the air like a knife.

From the moment the needle drops on the opening track "Asylum," you know you're in for a wild ride. The band's signature blend of punk, post-punk, and experimental noise is on full display here, creating a sound that is as confrontational as it is cathartic. Songs like "Do They Owe Us A Living?" and "So What" tackle social and political issues head-on, while tracks like "Securicor" and "Punk Is Dead" push the boundaries of sonic experimentation.

The Feeding Of The 5000 is not an album for the faint of heart. It's loud, it's abrasive, and it's unapologetically in-your-face. But if you're willing to take the plunge, you'll find a musical experience that is truly unlike anything else out there. CRASS have cemented their status as punk pioneers with this album, and it's a must-listen for anyone who craves music that challenges the norm and pushes the boundaries of what punk can be. So crank up the volume, strap yourself in, and prepare to be blown away by CRASS' The Feeding Of The 5000. You won't be disappointed.

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.
