[Dubversion]

What about House of Fascist scum..Did you like that dub?

i'm sorry, balders, you'll have to spell your no doubt astonishing point out for me a little more clearly.

I don't know that I know it, or not by title - is it on United Colours? I only have the odd single apart from that

Its on their first album..I sort of liked that song.

 

[Dubversion]

ah ok, you'll have to excuse my assumption you were making a snide dig on the one occasion when you weren't.

I haven't read all of this thread but I didn't see them on the first page which I'm surprised at but I'm sure they're in here:

Gang of Four.
Edit: Just read all the stuff about gang of four, nevermind.

and I love Citizen Fish, it's a shame they aren't playing near London or the south east, seeing them in Tunbridge Wells was one of the best gigs I went to a few years ago.

Pretty much every song an anti-consummerist piece or some really great personal politics.

Identity !

 

[Herbsman.]

I think Assert are the best today

Art - i -Ficial

I know I'm artificial
But don't put the blame on me
I was reared with appliances
In a consumer society

When I put on my make-up
The pretty little mask not me
That's the way a girl should be
In a consumer society

Identity

IDENTITY IS THE CRISIS CAN'T YOU SEE
IDENTITY IDENTITY

WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR
DO YOU SEE YOURSELF
DO YOU SEE YOURSELF
ON THE T.V. SCREEN
DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE MAGAZINE
WHEN YOU SEE YOURSELF
DOES IT MAKE YOU SCREAM

WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR
DO YOU SMASH IT QUICK
DO YOU TAKE THE GLASS
AND SLASH YOUR WRISTS
DID YOU DO IT FOR FAME
DID YOU DO IT IN A FIT
DID YOU DO IT BEFORE
YOU READ ABOUT IT

Just think it combines personal and outside politics very well and personally means more to me than ' fight system, fight back'

 

[Ceej]

Bad Religion
Tom Robinson Band (even if he isn't glad or gay any more)
Anti-Nowhere League......'We are the League!'


Napalm Death - ok they we're rubbish, but great name for a band

 

[rekil]

Minor Threat/Fugazi

Dead Kennedys - I think I learned more about politics, current affairs and history from DK album inserts than I did from the papers or telly or school.

The Minutemen

Sex Pistols - for situationist references

Killing Joke

Thee Mighty Fall-ah

 

[rekil]

And.....Devo.

 

[Mallard]

The Minutemen

Fantastic band and sadly missed. Some of the greatest song titles as well. All hail D. Boon!
