Can't remember the other 2 on yet another good 4 track EP.At the time I was living in Coventry so my Crass gigs were at Birmingham's Digbeth Civic Hall, deffo 2 times, maybe 3, along with Dirt, Conflict, Flux and Honey Bane.

Go on then Methuselah, enlighten him. I have read pre pistols history but I'll let you mention it. Anyway this thread isn't for bit picking who is the oldest bestest most knowledgeable punk. Everyone who got involved, please feel feel to share your punk/New wave stuff.
His response was rather cryptic and I'm not really sure what I'm missing. All great musical turning points get co-opted by commercialism -- ALL of them. For me, punk was about the music described as such and nothing else. Already submitted I wasn't any kind of punk from an attitudinal nor lifestyle perspective -- I just liked the tunes.
And this coming from a guy who personally knows the guys on the forefront of the invention of straight edge and eventually the emo scene in DC the early/mid-80s. They were guys I knew; I was no adherent.

Never heard of them before. That track sounds decent. Many bands lost their way. Just needed a vut of backing. I was briefly a drummer in a band. Vamana. We thought we were good. Never did a good though.
