The heavy hitting anarcho-punk English band first started producing songs in 1980. Violinist Colin Birkett, his brother Derek, drummer Martin Wilson and guitarist Kevin Hunter made up the band. The band provided a mixture of funk and protest tunes to their audience. The band only released 3 LP’s, with one being banned in select stores. Their 2nd LP titled, “The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks”, was very offensive based on the title alone. To date it is still one of the most offensive and vulgar album titles ever to be produced. In their hit song titled “Some Of Us Scream, Some Of Us Shout”, the Flux Of Pink Indians sing about war, and what society thinks is acceptable.
“billions spent on destroying the world while millions starve, where did we go wrong?
where did we go wrong? maybe you don't think that this is wrong?we as one are saying
feed starving people
fuck your bombs”
Just from these lyrics above you can see what they thought of the government and the idea of spending money for war, rather then spending it on those in need. The Flux Of Pink Indians never did reach their goal of becoming super stars, but along the road revolted, protested and said everything they wanted to their fans.
