Description
Crass was the anarcho-punk face of a revolutionary movement that challenged the status quo. By putting out their own records, films, and magazines, and setting up a series of situationist pranks, they took punk to the next level. This book tells the whole story of Crass, giving access to many never-before-seen photos and interviews. The band's members, who were rarely photographed and remained contemptuous of conventional pop stardom, explored and exhausted the possibilities of punk-led anarchy. Through their music, social and political activism, Crass became a musical, social, and political phenomenon. This book is the result of a collaboration between the band's members, providing a unique insight into their world. With this book, readers can gain a deeper understanding of Crass's role in the punk movement and their lasting impact on music and politics.
