anarcho-punk links

Bands

Crass page at Southern - lots of info and graphics.

Conflict

Chumbawamba - lots to read here. Worth checking out the FAQ to see their current thoughts on EMI and the DIY ethic of the 80s.

The only Flux of Pink Indians interview on the web? From rather early on. Also Crass and Zounds features here, as well as a load of other 80s music stuff from the UK Press.

Zounds - nice tribute site with biography etc.

The Apostles - myspace covering the band pre-1985.

The Mob - official myspace.

Blaggers ITA - arguably neither anarcho nor punk, but you know what I mean. Possibly all the better for it, too.
