finally getting the bag😸😸
gratz on the sponsor, you fuckin goblin
Thank you to Surfshark VPN for keeping the spirit and troll tactics of Crass alive.
Im happy for coolea to finally get a sponsor lmao
You should make a video about that Japanese noise band who’s bassist hijacked a plane and who’s frontman disappeared for 30 years
Les Rallizes Denudes
Penis Envy is a must listen! Incredibly diverse songwriting compared to their earlier stuff.
I like Feeding of 5000 more but penis envy is a really good one.
Agreed 👍
Penis envy
I concur, it is the best punk album ever written, both the lyrics and the actual singing of them is just genius. Crass are actually musically underrated. the power and anger they generated and communicated. And how prescient the anger given the way things have gone since, the corporate death machine hasnt slowed down any. But yes Penis Envy is a masterpiece.. Death Church by Rudimentary Peni is also an overlooked classic.
It's damn good. But it doesn't get it's due sadly
I'd consider Rudimentary Peni to be the most literally INSANE punk band. They were originally on crass records. So was sugarcubes. Steve Ignorant was in the first incarnation of Current 93, performing under the name Steve Intelligent.
insane in terms of music? yea, though i wouldn't call them the most insane in terms of 'punk antics' like crass. honestly i'd say chumbawamba might be able to take the place if they were strictly punk.
@papusadrianus I meant that Nik Blinko is schizophrenic and Rudi Peni was putting out records while Nik was living in a mental hospital. He was suffering from delusions about being historical figures like the pope and HP Lovecraft. But yeah, it's funny that Chumbawumba was on crass records, too. I was in college when tubthumpin came out, it was surreal to see them become mega popular for a few years.
Primal Screamer sure is an insane book
Cacophony is an earth shattering piece of music.
Death Church & the EPs of RP are masterpieces.
Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinaly someone talks about one of, if not, the best lyrically talking bands, Penis envy blew me away the first time i listened to it, and it's amazing how nobody talks about it nowadays
Penis envy blew you? I thought it would be the opposite.
At School my mate and I who had zero musical tallent (even for Punk) decided our conrtibution would be a fanzine
We managed to get an interview with Crass, they invited us up to their cottage, we bunked off school and "borrowed" my mum's car. They were really cool and we just chatted for an afternoon.
This was the zenith of my Anarcho Career!!!
Crass started in a commune which I think should be stated is still going today. The drummer of Crass, Penny, having lived there throughout
My life changed forever when i found Crass in 1980, i am 57 now and i am still blown away by the intelligence and complexity of their music and the influence they had on our lives.
Ditto mate
crass are a special band to me, i was raised on them. my dad has always been a huge punk fan. managed to see steve ignorant live in concert a couple of months ago and it was amazing
Bro finally got sponsored! One of the best music creators on the platform.
One of the most important bands to political punks. No one else compares. They challenged everyone. Big A little a bouncing bee, the system mightve got you but they won't get me!
ONE TWO THREE FOUR!!
"Loik, anarchy is important, innit? Crass did anarchy stuff, yeah. Now 'ere's a word from our sponsuh, guvnuh."
Hey dude, i think you should listen to lucille bogan‘s „when the cows come home“ and „shave em dry II“, she was a blues singer/songwriter who recorded in the 1930s and her songs contained extremely explicit and witty sexual lyrics. i just discovered her randomly while listening to a blues playlist and even though you haven‘t done anything on blues you might find her songs interesting (and funny af). personally i was really fascinated and amused that stuff like this was recorded in the 30s and since you often do videos about odd musicians i thought you might like it. there‘s not a ton of information on her though, but you should definitely listen. love your videos!
Nice Choice. Crass grabbed my attention with their cover art , foldout poster , information leaflet record cover's. Unrelenting graffiti campaigns ensued. The record label released a string of quality unknown bands. ( Mob , Zounds , Flux Of Pink Indians, Poison Girls , Rudimentary Peni ...)
Anarchic & Eclectic.
I'm 56 and started listening to Crass back in 1982. Still listen to this day.
Crass were game changers, because unlike all the other poseurs and spiky heads gobbing and showing off, they actually really meant it and really knew how to lyrically and musically project the anger and antagonise the people they (rightly) despised. A band that had more influence on me personally, and the way I see the world, than any other. And Penis Envy is arguably (along with Death Church by Rudimentary Peni) the best punk album ever recorded. Absolute legends.
ur sponsored now that means I can say I was a Coolea fan before you blew up
7:38 They ALWAYS planned to break the band up by 1984 since it's full inception. 1984 being very symbolic and inspired by the book of the same name.
video idea : the underground czechoslovak band Plastic People Of The Universe. There is definitelly a lot to talk about, and nobody else on RUclips covered them so far in english.
Really great band
Crass is definitely my favorite band ever.
"They said that we were trash, well the name is Crass not Clash! They can stuff their punk credentials cos it's them that take the cash"
Oh Coolea, you've got great timing ♡ My day has been a migraine and a half- On the topic of hairspray, I actually put some of my hair up in horns- * Similar process as putting a mohawk up / liberty spikes; Back combing, hairspray canisters galore ( Or whatever you may have accessibility to )
Thank you, i listened to their music because of this video and they’re now my fav punk band except maybe dead Kennedys. I can’t thank you enough
Mate, this video was posted 3 hours ago. But yes, crass is definitely my favorite band and dead kennedys is also great.
@yumasairinen8978 yeah ik! I watched the video, and then I checked them out on Spotify, and they're rly good.
@@w8asec74 They are awesome. My favorite album has to be feeding of 5000.
@@yumasairinen8978mine is Christ the Album
UPDATE! I now have both Dead Kennedys and Crass on vinyl. Thank you coolea!
Oh, bless your heart. You fill my heart with so much joy.
THE NAMES CRASS NOT CLASH!
They said that we were trash! But the name is Crass not Clash!
No punk credentials!
I’m 49 and just discovered these guys. My cup of tea for sure. Will enjoy their music
I'm sorry, everything these guys did was AWESOME. If you wanna walk on eggshells your whole lives and not be punk like Crass, see how you guys like that. Honestly it's not as fun.
Thatcher gate is pretty cool and next level but, while not from Britain, GG Allin was actually insane and makes these stunts look like middle school pranks.
crass were so innovative yet such a weird punk band. i used to like dropping the track walls into my DJ sets as most thought it was some random disco song i'd uncovered. i've supported steve ignorant's band in 2016. he's a truly nice gent, and his partner remembers me when i see them at the punk festival i attend.
Crass were one of the second wave of DIY punk who walked the walk, truly - the lived and some of the still do at Dial House the open commune. they gave all their money to different groups and would play the most out of the way obscure places where no other bands would play often for free. we organised a crass gig in our local hall, we at the time were putting on punk gigs as there was nothing to do in our little town and crass told us to keep all the money we got off the door so we could put on more gigs. i years later bumped into both Steve and also Penni at different times they are both amazing and fascinating people - i chatted to Penni for a long time as I was reading and had with me 'Zen, Beginners Mind' by Shunryu Suzuki and he practises zen philosophy and we talked about meditation that i had fairly recently started to practise daily meditation. Steve is working class and a fair bit younger than Penni who is from a much more middle class background but they through away the working class - middle class cliche. i would love to meet Gee and Eve as never got a chance to speak to them. check out 'there is no authority but yourself' documentary - its really good.
Do french punk of the 80s pls. Great vid as always !
Reich Orgasm!
You should look into The Move, from the songs about there band members going into mental institutions , getting high and talking to flowers in the rain, from burning TVs on stage and smashing them up with an axe, which you can see on video .Oh and making art illustrations of an MP having a affair and getting them into the Houses of Parliament. All done in the 60s
Still got crass tickets,( Annie Anxiety, D+V, Choosing Death, No Defences, Crass, Flux Of Pink Indians )
Every time you upload its like Christmas except in stead of presents I get coal
i love your editing bro so funny, makes me feel good after a long day
Do an ignorant guide to modern Garage Rock. Ty Segall, Bass Drum of Death, Fidlar, together Pangea. Labels like Burger, Fat Possum, In The Red...
Let's be honest. That Thatcher thing isn't *too* unbelievable
Crass and the Dead Kennedys were my true political education in the mid 80's.
Dead kennedys were really good
I'm actually a huge fan of these guys
Crass, The Birthday Party and SPK were the band's of the era thar really took punk to the extreme. (Well there's also GG Allin but that's taking it too far)
I love The Birthday Party, Especially Dead Joe. I love how abrasive that song is.
@@chrishenniker5944 fuck yeah, that song is like a precursor to death metal in a way
@@dalemoss4684 I thought Thrash, even though it’s based on rockabilly licks.
coolea gettin sponsorships Okayyy!
wasnt rudimentary peni on crass records early on before outer himalayan or southern? i wish i knew more about rudimentary peni's history, id fuckin explode if i saw a video off you this in depth on blinko or rp. hate to do a "by request" comment, but if youre familiar with rudimentary peni at alll, would you care to make one? (all your contents great btw i just got excited you having posted about crass)
This must be what it's like to see the world in pictures. Thank you for sharing.
I thought this was going to be about Throbbing Gristle.
So I have the crass logo tattooed on my elbow after watching a video of the legendary 80 skater Jeff grosso explain about his elbows tattoo and that nothing is more punk than crass. He was wrong his love letters to skateboarding videos are the most punk thing ever. His last few videos are a massive legacy and you should check them out.
You got a tattoo cos someone you've never met got a tattoo of a band you'd never heard of?
ayo, congrats on ur first sponsor mate
Mr Coolea,as a decades long Crass admirer,this had me doubled up and wheezing laughing.I had tears running down my thighs.Or,maybe,I just pissed my (metaphorical) knickers.More please? Cheers from across the pond.
What are your thoughts on The Fall & Ian Dury
Can you do a Danzig video next please?
Crass is a great name for a punk band, I thought for a moment you had said The Clash
HE FINALLY GOT SPONSORED!!
thank you so much for this video. crass are truly fucking legendary
the moment i saw "punk" and "the most insane" in title i knew this gotta be about Crass
2:25 The symbol you apparently cannot show or talk about on RUclips is called an ouroboros. It seems you were thinking of something else.
Lol, the band didn't even expect anyone to believe the Thatcher & Reagan tape and only did it for a laugh
Crass ❤ My favourite punk group of all time!
make video about tanzelcore and kellersynth NOW
😁🏴❤️thankyou ever so much for your efforts to produce this info on this very interesting group of poetic & musical folk whom were remarkably authentic compared to many of their contemporaries of political preachers usually advocating off grid & eco lifestyles & my favourite song of theirs is how does it feel to be the mother of a thousand dead ? even in 1985 a misinformation story circulated in southern England that this band actually went home after gigs & drove expensive BMW cars . Roger the musician told this to me probably because crass didn’t do Blues ( the music ) or trippy stuff like Hawkwind which he enjoyed. I told him I’d never seen Penny or Steve ignorant racing about in any car so wasn’t ready to accept his gossip.
Compressorhead?
"Yes that's right, Punk is Dead!"
this is the 5th vid ive watched from you, and i think im gonna sub now. i like your shit bro. and i dig the subculture fashion vids you made too
Fucking love crass
Same, crass is definitely my favorite band ever.
Although I have never lstened to anything outside of The Feeding of the 5000, I always considered CRASS one of the greatest punk bands. And still do.
What utter shite talk about negative views and comments about one of THE greatest bands ever CRASS and a scene that is still going strong today long after other generes died
At one point, the most popular band in the UK. Zero airplay, though.
hey baby do a haunted mound video
Crass are fuckin awesome
love crass so much, as does my dad and grandad. saw steve ignorant perfoming their songs in april and it was fucking epic
Sex pistols be like yeah were so punk we fucking love Margaret thatcher and the British monarchy.
Sex Pistols are posers
99.999999% of punk bands- "fuck the monarchy!!!"
Sex pistols- "fucking love the monarchy"
.....who's the real non conformist?😂
@@thrash20899,9% of brits:
not monarchy
0,1% of brits: monarchy
...Who's the real non conformist 😂
I can't stand The Clash, but I love Crass. Kinda crazy to think the former inspired the latter.
I almost spat my drink out due to laughter when I saw the png you donned for this video.
Zounds were on the label and were arguably even more schizophrenic which i love. Check it out
great video, crass are a class act from a legendary scene
Crass are iconic
My favourite band! Very glad someone is talking about them!! 🏴🏳
Cardiacs next! Another truly mystifying british punk band.
Big influence on stuffblike Napalm Death and Voivod
Mans did 'em so dirty at 7:46 lol
please make a video about egor letov
Check my channel "Soviet Punk Explained".
I LOVE SURFSHARK!!! I LOVE SURFSHARK!!! I LOVE SURFSHARK!!! I LOVE SURFSHARK!!! I LOVE SURFSHARK!!!
Love your vids thank you.
Ever met a Old Anarchist?....
Yeah me neither
Do a video about aus rotten they're anarcho punk too
Used to see aus rotten all the time in the 90s.
wrt the artwork, Gee Vauchers image of the statue of liberty with head in her hands (Liberty or Oh America), which was made for a TackHead album cover, was widely disseminated around the world post the 2016 election.
can you do an industrial metal quide?
ill watch you ads cuz i like you
Ah, Crass. I saw them at Reading town hall in 1980 and it was , without question, the best £1 I've ever spent. Crass, Poison Girls and Annie Anxiety all performed,. There were anti-war films played between each bands' sets and a weird, communal feeling, with an element of threat from the skinheads who showed up but, being intrinsically cowardly, didn't kick off due to being vastly outnumbered but spiky-haired punks with a lot of studded and-bullet belts that were mostly decorative but also defensive. When something did kick off at the front of the stage, Crass were prepared for this, as Penny's drum riser was skirted with halogen lamps that effectively blinded the audience, so that violence wasn't really possible. All in all, a brilliant night, especially when, during "They've Got a Bomb" the band stopped playing and stood stock still for at least a full minute, during which a film of the effects of the Nagasaki and Hiroshima atomic bomb blasts was played. If you know the song, you'll know where in the song I mean.
Brilliant band, far better musically than given credit for, and who, by their own admission, had a limited shelf-life.
Twenty odd years now waiting for the flash
Dude, where do you find some of these clips 😂😂😂
Crass (who I saw quite a few times) were very far from 'insane'. They were independent artists who wanted to express their political and ideological ideas by using music as the vehicle. I'm also very far from sure that any member of Crass endorsed violence - that was the opposite of what the band stood for. Perhaps 'extreme' would have been a better description.
Do a Chumbawamba video
My parents were actually friends with crass a really long time ago, but they fell out of touch
Could you do an ignorant guide on metalcore
Crass were a bunch of hippies. Rudimentary peni was an insane band, so much so that the singer was in an asylum.
There was that time they drove Special Duties out of the scene for daring to criticize them for their nonsense/utopian take on charging a few pounds for kids to get into shows and criticizing the Clash and anyone who took a record deal, only to turn around and have some members put out that Chumbawamba Tubthumping garbage 20 years later
Do they as you living?
Of course of do.
Crass were actually hippies, not punks.
They litterally have anarchist A's at their concerts
i knew it was gonna be CRASS but i was hoping it woulda been RUDIMENTARY PENI
just started listening to crass!!!! r u hooked into my brain
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SELL CRASS TEES AT WALMART ALREADY
Yeah that's pretty wild man.
