All Things Bright and Beautiful




Anthrax
Capitalism is Cannibalism
1982

Not to be confused with the NY thrash band who obviously went on to much greater popularity, England's Anthrax were a prime example of the UK's anarcho-punk movement of the early 80s. They were one of the best bands to be a part of the whole Crass Records scene, and it's a real shame they were so short lived. This ep and one other ep were the only official releases (I'll post it some time), and then there were a coupl'a demos and some comp tracks. In 2007 all of this stuff was collected on a disc called One Last Drop which I don't have, but should, if for no other reason than for the incredible artwork.

Hey Cory - The Anthrax post reminded me of this blog that I follow sometimes, and is filled with this kind of stuff: http://ya-cant-go-home.blogspot.com/

It's amazing how deep this kind of music goes.
