Crass’s former lead singer joins up with a long-lived Irish anarcho punk band to deliver some new tuneage with loud guitars and pointed barbs directed at everything from the greater society to modern punk’s slide from a vehicle for revolution into a fashion phase one “goes through.” Their attacks regarding the latter are, of course, largely on point, but one can’t help but wonder if anybody’s really listening, but one can only hope. Tunes are strong, their outrage sincere and yet not overly preachy.
