(May 2022) Episode 411 is CRASS. An idiosyncratic first-wave UK punk group that was the musical arm of an anarchist art collective. They deliver their political message with a punch in the face, deliberately avoiding any possibility of popular acceptance. There is also a lot of avant-punk experimentation incorporating collages, poetry, spoken word and free-form noise-making, which may be my favorite part of their sound.
