Anarcho-punk band *Crass* formed in 1977 in North Weald, Essex, United Kingdom. They disbanded in 1984 but left a lasting impact on the punk scene. With members including Steve Ignorant, Eve Libertine (aka Bronwen Jones), Joy de Vivre, N.A. Palmer, Phil Free, Pete Wright, Penny Rimbaud and Gee Vaucher handling vocals, guitars, bass, drums and visuals respectively.
Crass founded their own record label called Crass Records in 1979. Their music was characterized by its political and anti-establishment lyrics that challenged societal norms and conventions.
Similar artists to Crass include Conflict, Subhumans, Flux of Pink Indians, Zounds and many more who were also part of the anarcho-punk movement.

Penis Envy - one the fiercest punk records ever made, released when most had written the genre off as dead. A ferocious, laceratingly intelligent, resolutely feminist din which sets the template for riot grrrl a good decade early. It's also possibly the best rock 'n' roll record you've never heard, spiced with surprisingly avant-garde forays into sound collage and musique concrete. There's even a bit of Afrobeat. Think the Manics' Holy Bible, The Beatles' epic freak-out 'Revolution 9' and Huggy Bear on 90s shame-fest The Word. It's like that, all at once.
