When, in 1976, punk first spewed itself across the nation's headlines with the message 'do it yourself', we, who in various ways and for many years had been doing just that, naively believed that Messrs. Rotten, Strummer etc. etc. meant it. At last we weren't alone. The idea of becoming a band had never seriously occurred to us, it simply happened. Basically anyone was free to join in and rehearsals were rowdy affairs that invariably degraded into little more than drunken parties. Steve and Penny had been writing and playing together since early '77, but it wasn't until Summer of that year that we had begged, borrowed and stolen enough equipment to actually call ourselver a band....CRASS. Having finally managed to rehearse five songs, we set out on the road to More...

In the case of myself it prompted me to question everything and read up more on social history, to make my own informed views, my views stayed the same, i became an Anarchist in 1978, i have stayed this way for 29 years now, their lyrics have only become dated by the names of the political leaders and events only, the message is still there, change Thatcher to Brown, Reagan to Bush, Falklands to Iraq... etc, you get the picture, situations and names have changed but the crap still goes on, and it is up to us as individuals to form groups question authority in all forms do not let them get away with bullying us into believing their way is the right way. If anyone involved with Crass ever happens to read this, please believe your work was never in vain, you did make a difference and as long as we can pass our message to our children the movement will never die, thank you for opening my eyes and making my life richer with your music, the new friends i made and still have from the anarchist punk network and the rules that I have set to make the place i live a better one for all concerned. "There is no authority but yourself" Love, Peace, Freedom, Equality the one and only | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Yes Sir, I Will performed by Crass soundtrack to the falklands war, which was rediculous. the genious minds of the band Crass did an outstanding job on this cd/song. truely talks about the corrupt society and government, i recommend this song to any anarcho punk Wow | Reviewer: Chris ------ About the song It's The Greatest Working Class Rip-Off performed by Crass One of my favorite CRASS songs, it makes so much sence, at first with the screaming "AINT IT JUST A RIPOFF OI OI OI" i was like eh... but then i listened to it and read the lyrics and now its one of my favs! I definatly reccomend this song! relevant??? | Reviewer: steve ------ About the song Big A, Little A performed by Crass this is without doubt one of the most relevant songs ever written . you cannot deny any of the lyrics, maybe if you are one of the sheep you may not agree, but that explains itself. relevant??? it is now as it was then, maybe even more so. why conform? who are you to say that i should? 'be exactly what you want to be, do what you wanna do' why not!?!?! utterly brilliant | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Yes Sir, I Will performed by Crass one of the most intense, intellegent songs ever written. nothing compares.
