The new #album from #anarcho-punk favourites #OmegaTribe is something of a musical departure from the band’s 80s past. While they still sing about freedom, peace and unity this is more of a kick back and chill out album for aging anarchos. Reviewed by Nathan Brown.
Definitely one of the more #melodic of the bands associated with #Crass and the “anarcho-punk” scene, #Omega #Tribe have to a degree regenerated themselves but still attract a lot of interest based on their 1980s past. In that 80s scene, #punk was largely responsible for connecting a lot of young #people with the peace movement and giving it more energy. The CND sign was side by side with the circled A on most punk’s jackets and many a record sleeve. We didn’t just want #anarchy, we wanted #peace too…and equality! In terms of keeping that message alive, title track New Peace Movement is an exemplar.
“This is the beginning of a new peace movement
Right here, right #now
Peace built on respect and mutual trust
Should be good enough for us
The dawning of the day has come
No need to worry we’ll get this done
The colour of my skin
Is just the colour of my skin
I recognise that we must learn
I reject pseudo-science, it’s #one #humanity
People have been gay since time began
This love is a pure and natural thing
Help each other find comfort and love
And have a good fucking time, because you’re worth it!
There are so many flags to wave
None of them are worth dying for
But I will stand for a just cause
For peace, humanity and our earth”
Lyrically this stands alongside the classic Angry Songs EP and No Love Lost LP. This album is not all socio-political stuff, though. Many of the songs are more about personal relationships, trauma and angst, and the music reflects this.
It doesn’t feel right to label this release as punk – it is musically much more diverse than that label. Not that something has to be punk for you to like it (First rule of punk, don’t let people tell you what you’re allowed to like. Second rule of punk, there are no rules). I’d suggest 4 of the 12 tracks fit the “punk” label. The title track. The angry enunciated kick back against racism in Ain’t Gonna Let ‘Em (after a deceptive Britpoppy start). Then there is the anti-religious message of Shit (“Don’t Lay Your Shit On Me, Don’t Try and force me to believe Cos I will not see you in heaven”) which is a straight up 77 punk song in the tradition of Chelsea or Menace. Lies is in a similar vein, leaning a little more towards Buzzcocks to my ears.

CRASS –The Feeding Of The 5000 –(1978)
War is men's money.
They pay with their bodies.
There is no purity in that game,
Only blood, death and bribery.
It's all the fucking same.
But we've got the power.
Don't just stand there and take submission on the strength of fear.

Tu allumes ta radio, sur #FranceCulture et tu tombes à la fois avec bonheur et perplexité sur les fondamentaux #Crass.
Punk, génération #NoFuture (2/4) : Crass ou le retour aux fondamentaux
Les #anarcho-punks de «Crass» vont débattre de la différenciation sociale entre masculin et féminin, du «spécisme» et de la décroissance pendant que la première génération #punk fini par tomber sous le charme du capitalisme.
1977. Gee Vaucher, artiste libertaire née à Londres en 1945, forme le collectif "Crass", groupe anarcho-libertaire-punk dont elle assure la direction artistique. Le #féminisme radical est son crédo, l’associant à ses œuvres – collages, peintures, vidéos – qui s’inscrivent parfaitement dans l’idée de « protest art » propageant cynisme, surréalisme, anarchisme et pacifisme.
#GeeVaucher, #PennyRimbaud, #SteveIgnorant, membres du groupe Crass
Adepte du "Do It Yourself", "Crass" s’autoproduit en créant son label "Crass Records" et permet à beaucoup de groupes de sortir leurs propres albums. Farouchement engagé contre la politique du gouvernement Thatcher, "Crass" s’engage auprès des grévistes, organise des happenings et des opérations de déstabilisation.
Leur premier album « The Feeding of the 5000» marque la renaissance d’un mouvement déliquescent. Le roi est mort ? Alors vive le roi et à bas le monde marchand, la société de consommation et le travail. Les femmes du groupe, #EveLibertine et #JoyDeVivre vont donner aux héritières de Janis Joplin et de Suzi Quatro une place pleine et entière dans ce mouvement. En 1992, Erika Reinstein leur donne même un manifeste.
C’est ça le punk, réveille-toi, réfléchis pour toi-même, ne sois pas d’accord. Je ne suis pas d’accord avec plein de trucs, je ne serai jamais d’accord !
S. Ignorant
On a trouvé notre "voix" et qu'est-ce qu'on a gueulé !
S. Ignorant
Tout ce que j’ai pu faire en criant et en beuglant dans "Crass", finalement c’est Peace and Love.
