The Story of Crass
The Story of Crass | George Berger
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
In-depth interviews with the main movers in the punk rock movementCrass members Penny Rimbaud, Gee Vaucher, and Steve Ignorantdetail the face of the revolution founded by these radical thinkers and artists. When punk ruled the waves, Crass waived the rules by putting out their own records, films, and magazines and setting up a series of situationist pranks that were dutifully covered by the worlds press. Not just another iconoclastic band, Crass was a musical, social, and political phenomenon: commune dwellers that were rarely photographed and remained contemptuous of conventional pop stardom. As detailed in this history, their members explored and finally exhausted the possibilities of punk-led anarchy. This definitive biography of the band not only gives backstage access to their lives, philosophies, and the movement that followed, but also to never-before-seen photographs and rare dialogues.

The Story of Crass | George Berger

“THERE IS NO FUTURE BUT OUR OWN BECAUSE THERE IS NO AUTHORITY BUT OUR OWN. YOU AND I, WHO LOVE THIS PLANET ‘EARTH‘, ARE ITS RIGHTFUL INHERITORS — IT IS TIME TO STAKE OUR CLAIM.
- -
...the Pistols released ‘Anarchy In The UK,‘ maybe they didn‘t really mean it ma‘am, but to us it was a battle cry. When Rotten proclaimed there was ‘no future‘, we saw it as a challenge to our creativity - we knew there was a future if we were prepared to work for it.”
