+OrganizedMessOffical Maybee direct drawing with acrylic paint, or screen printing. But drawing is better for unique patches and printing also for mass production. if you can't draw as well, ask firends they can do it. And if you don't have the material for sreen printing, show for workshops or buy it... it's not so expensive. Have a nice day. DuT

Amazing song, I just love the drumming, one of my favourite songs of all time

[@JockoJonson17]

I think these guys are way underrated as musicians. They have some weird ass chord progressions and time signatures. The drummer is excellent. The music is like some techincal King Crimson shit.

[@auri8810]

And like king crimson, their existence also shaped the entire genre they belong to. King Crimson shaped prog rock and almost any prog rock band has loads of influence from them. Crass shaped punk and grind as we know it and there would be no anarcho without crass

[@SniffMyDeadwax]

Agree. Listen to the riffs on Sex Pistols EMI again for another touch of genius.

I think playing music that sounds weird is actually pretty hard. Regardless of what you are playing the difficult part is hearing the music in a way that you can push out and in this case I think it would be hard for a lot of bands no matter their technique to be able to hear this music, hence why they have a cool original sound.

@samthomasmusic the drummer/originator of crass was a pretty well-off rich kid who wanted to start/participate in an art revolution...crass was not exactly a working class band (though steve ignorant was very much working class). Really, crass is more an example of how people with divergent backgrounds and interests can come together and feed a revolution. Rap has the same phenomena, though, so your point is still valid about the common ground.
