	Crass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crass were amongst the progenitors of the anarcho-pacifism that became pervasive in the punk music scene (see also anarcho-punk).
		Crass countered that their uniform appearance was intended to be a statement against the "cult of the personality", so that, in contrast to the norm for many rock bands, no member would be identified as the 'leader'.
		As well as their own material, Crass Records released recordings by other performers, the first of which was the 1980 single "You Can Be You" by Honey Bane, a teenage girl who was staying at Dial House whilst on the run from a children's home.

	Crass
		Crass were a punk rock band formed in 1977, based around Dial House, an anarchist community near Epping in England.
		However Crass explained that their uniform appearance was intended to be a statement against the cult of the personality, so that, in contrast to what was the norm for many rock bands, no member would be identified as the group 'leader'.
		This caused Crass to fundementally question their approach to making records, for as a group who's very reason for existing was to comment upon political issues, they felt they had been overtaken and made to appear redundant by real world events.

		It was also part of Crass' strategy of presenting themselves as a 'barrage of contradictions', which also included using loud, aggressive music to promote a pacifist message.
		This caused Crass to fundamentally question their approach to making records, for as a group who's very reason for existing was to comment upon political issues, they felt they had been overtaken and made to appear redundant by real world events.
		In October 2003 The Crass Collective changed their working title to Crass Agenda, and continue to perform on a regular basis at the Vortex Jazz Club in Stoke Newington, North London.

		The Crass Collective continued to put on gigs and performances, usually of a collaborative nature, on a regular basis throughout 2003 at the Vortex Club in Stoke Newington, London.

	Penny Rimbaud
		Penny Rimbaud is the nom de plume of Jeremy John Ratter, drummer, writer, poet, former member of performance art group EXIT and co-founder of the anarchist punk band Crass with Steve Ignorant in 1977.
		He was later released, but appeared to have been seriously mentally damaged by his experiences, especially the side effects of prescription drugs[?] that he had been administered, and subsequently committed suicide.
		Although Crass disolved in 1984, Rimbaud continues to write and perform both as a solo artist and as a part of the Crass Collective alongside other ex members of the band as well as other artists and musicians.

	Barbelith: Music: Crass: Still Relevant in 2002?
		And no punk retrospective would have been complete without Crass, who I would argue were matched only by the Sex Pistols in terms of importance and influence, although the two bands were worlds apart.
		Crass’ belief in anarchy and peace — more evolution than (bloody) revolution — is still my utopia.
		Penny Rimbaud, arguably the heart of the band despite Crass’ insistence on near facelessness, can be very direct (see his excellent autobiography, Shibboleth) but still knows how to cut a short story long, as Oh, America proved.

		By the band's own account this was a drunken debacle, ending in the group being ejected from the stage, and immortalised by their song "Banned from the Roxy" http://www.lyricstime.com/lyrics/50021.html and Rimbaud's essay Crass at the Roxy http://www.southern.com/southern/label/CRC/anthem1/anthem1_4.html.
		Their painted and collage-art fl-and-white record sleeves produced by Gee Vaucher themselves became a signature aesthetic model, whilst their stencil style graffitti can be seen as an influence on later artists such as Banksy (Banksy and Vaucher have latterly collaborated http://www.artofthestate.co.uk/banksy/Banksy_Santas_Ghetto_2004.htm) and the subvertising movement.
		A "new" Crass track (actually a remix of 1982's "Major General Despair", with new lyrics), "The Unelected President", is also available http://www.peace-not-war.org/Music/Crass/index.html.

		And although many will remember the Crass sound as being ’unlistenable cacophony’ and their lyrics as ’shock slogans and mindless token tantrums’ (copyright: The Sun), listen to these records now and what you hear may surprise you, as what went on the studio was actually quite revolutionary in more than just the political sense.
		Crass began as a rural collective of diverse and eclectic individuals based in Essex in 1977, who used art, literature and film, as well as music, to share information and ideas.
		Love Songs, published in March 2004, is the definitive and official anthology of Crass, collecting the lyrics of every song they ever wrote (all 82), plus further shock slogans and mindless token tantrums of the collective.

	Crass (band) - JnanaBase
		Crass were a punk rock band formed in 1977 after recording their demos of 1976 for Feeding Of The 5000, based around Dial House, an anarchist community near Epping in England.
		Crass, originally thus named as a reference to David Bowie's song "Ziggy Stardust" (specifically the line "The kids was just crass"), came together when Dial House founder Penny Rimbaud (real name Jerry Ratter) began jamming with Steve Ignorant who was staying at the house at the time.
		In November 2002 several former members of Crass collaborated under the name of The Crass Collective to arrange Your Country Needs You, a concert of "voices in opposition to war" held at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's South Bank.

	Left Turn: Notes from the Global Intifada
		A San Francisco writer and organizer originally from a middle-class suburb in ultra-conservative Orange County, he seeks to bridge anarchist theory and practice with an analysis of power involving the topics of race, class and gender.
		The goal of his book, Crass says, is to advance debate and discussion about some of the challenges facing the contemporary anarchist/social justice movements.
		Crass takes on those big questions that often confront organizers, such as, âhow can we speak radical politics in a way that will be both understood and appealing to the people most negatively affected by global capital?â and âhow is an anti-racist, multi-racial movement against global capitalism developed?â

		At the centre of their philosophy were themes of free thought, enthusiasm, creativity, ingenuity, peace, and yes, love - a radical standpoint for a band set within the generally nihilistic context of punk rock.
