If my partner Justin ever posted music on the blog I'd imagine Crass would be one of the first bands he would start with.
There is a load of reading material about Crass on the internet and I would say it's better to educate yourself on the group then for me to write some dribble about a group I personally don't know all that much about other then their importance to the punk and anarcho-punk culture.
Some of the more interesting stuff I found was the description of their iconic logo.
Read below:
"The aforementioned logo represented an amalgamation of several "icons of authority" including the Christian Cross, the swastika and the Union Flag combined with a two-headed snake consuming itself (to symbolize the idea that power will eventually destroy itself). Using such deliberately mixed messages was part of Crass' strategy of presenting themselves as a "barrage of contradictions", which also included using loud, aggressive music to promote a pacifist message, and was in part a reference to their own Dadaist and performance art backgrounds."
