For information about the anarchist writer see Chris Crass
Crass was an influential English anarchist punk rock band.
Crass formed in 1977, based around Dial House, an ' open house community' near Epping, Essex, in England.
Whereas the Sex Pistols' anarchism seemed to be a self-consciously nihilistic prank, Crass's stance was more directly linked to the libertarian socialist or communalistic varieties of 20th century political thought.
Taking literally the punk manifesto of " Do It Yourself", Crass combined the use of song, film, sound collage, graphics and subversion to launch a sustained and innovative critical broadside against all that they saw as a culture built on foundations of war, violence, sexism, religious hypocrisy and unthinking consumerism. They were also amongst the progenitors of the anarcho-pacifism that became pervasive in the punk music scene (see also anarcho-punk).
