Crass Art

Crass were an English art collective and punk rock band formed in 1977 who promoted anarchism as a political ideology, a way of life and a resistance movement. Crass popularised the anarcho-punk movement of the punk subculture, advocating direct action, animal rights, feminism, anti-fascism, and environmentalism. The band used and advocated a DIY ethic approach to its albums, sound collages, leaflets, and films.

The second album by Country Teasers, scottish art punk band formed in 1993. Early Country Teasers albums were characterised by literate, scathingly satirical lyrics and discordant, repetitive sound – like William S. Burroughs leading Joy Division or The Fall through a setlist of art-damaged country and western songs. Later Teasers releases branched out to "abuse not only country & western but every other genre they can get their hands on, including rap, goth, punk, folk, disco, electronic, and noise," leading to comparisons with other home-recording deconstructionists like Royal Trux, Butthole Surfers and Ween.

Speak English Or Die is the 1985 debut album by New York hardcore band Stormtroopers Of Death, also known as S.O.D. This was a side project by two members of Anthrax, a former member of Anthrax (who would form Nuclear Assault) and friend Billy Milano. Two years after the album's release, Megaforce Records released the album on CD with a track originally placed on a compilation album. This first version is considered "unremastered". The album was remastered in 1999 with live tracks recorded during the group's reunion tour.
