Guest allsystemsfail Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Pass it along.Any thoughts? Anybody?Seminal anarcho-punk band. Their first two full lengths - Pictures Of Starving Children... and Never Mind The Ballots are certainly two of the most important anarcho releases ever. Only Crass were better. Unfortunately, while I admire their still strong committment to anarchist politics, I did not agree with their jump to EMI - a move that rather conflicted with their views regarding poilitical outfits affiliation with majors labels.

Frosty Jack Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Saw them in the Barrowlands with Fugazi, I think in 90/91. The anarcho-punk relevance of mincing about in tights with an umbrella was somewhat lost on me, I'm afraid. Then saw them a few years later in the Lemon Tree, but only really remember being slightly impressed at some of the harmonies, no more.Not my cup of tea. Although I only like herbal tea, because...(wait for it)Proper Tea Is Theft.Get in! *punches air* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I caught them twice in London - at the Shepherds Bush Empire in 1994 with Back To The Planet, and again at a TUC sponsored anti-racist fest in 1996 in Finsbury Park.A couple of my friends saw that Lemon Tree show.

Alan Cynic Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I was at the Lemon Tree gig, too, and still have a couple of early albums. I also bought "Readymades", where they use lots of traditional folk samples, and enjoy it, despite the reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest allsystemsfail Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Anyone wanna check out their website, here it is: http://www.chumba.comAnd check out their 10" English Rebel Songs. A quite beautiful album, documenting protest songs through the ages. No instrumentation is used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
