CRASS



CRASS was a British hardcore band in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their music was always more about the message that the music, but managed to show real creativity. For a brief history of CRASS and their record label go Here. Clips may be found Here.

Another of my favorite products are the full-sized CRASS poster which are the inside of every folder-over record such as this one:



















These posters alone make buying the records worthwhile. At the very least, CRASS posters cause annoying people to go away.

Another interesting feature of CRASS is the variety of male and female vocalists. In fact, my favorite album is Penis Envy. I don't believe anything else is quite like it, and I'd highly recommend it.

I was a big fan back in the day. I saw them at a tremendous gig at the Sheffield Leadmill. There are lots of favourites but the one that stands out for me is Bloody Revolutions.
