Crass

Hardcore punk
Hardcore punk

Crass is a Hardcore punk act. Their sound grew out of The Clash, David Bowie, Exit, U.K. Subs and Earache Records. Those roots explain a lot about how Crass arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Reagan Youth, Circle Jerks, The Partisans, Leftöver Crack and Dead Boys, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Aus-Rotten, Dezerter, Blood, Sweat and No Tears, The Coup and Björk, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around Crass, reaching back through The Clash and forward to Aus-Rotten.
