Crass

      Crass was one of the main contributors to the up rise of British punk-rock. They critiqued war, sexism, the judicial system, religion, media, and the punk-movement itself. Not only did they produce their own independent albums, but they lived by their music. They formed an anarchy commune that connected similar punk-bands to serve the purpose of getting their message out. Because their music was so controversial, their fan base was purely firm believers in their message. Crass actually preferred it that way though; they would rather stick true to their message than to become famous for ideals they don’t believe. As agreed, they disbanded in 1984. Crass will be recognized as one of the most true anarchist bands to stick true to their values.
