Eels Meet The Eels RarityA History of Anti Fascist Punk Around the World in 9 Songs. In its four decades, punk has meant many different things to many different people. Its relationship to fascism, the specter of which has stopped rattling its chains from history books and re appeared in the West, is one of the most complicated examples of how aesthetics and philosophy can appeal to both anti authoritarian and deeply repressive positions. You can find it in punks beginnings, as a reaction to the cultural forces of generations prior, the long shadow of World War II among them. Ron Asheton of the Stooges collected and wore Nazi memorabilia to signify his bond with his father, a former Marine Corps pilot. Sid Vicious swastika was a fuck you to his parents generation, and largely orchestrated by the Jewish Malcolm Mc. Laren. And the electric eels just wanted to piss everyone off equally. Look no further than the formation of Rock Against Racism RAR for a sub story that contextualizes just how thin the line can be when it comes to manipulating fascist symbolism. ABORIGINAL HISTORY. Thunderdome The Xmas Edition Free Download. OF THE PRINCESS ALEXANDRA HOSPITAL SITE. Preface. The Diamantina Health Care Museum Association Inc formerly the History and Archives Committee. In response to a growing National Front presence in England during the mid 7. RAR united rock and reggae subcultures and more importantly, black and white folks. The organization was closely affiliated with the Anti Nazi League, a public effort of the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party the strict party line embedded in its core philosophy felt suffocating to some. In the case of peace punk band Crisis, a RAR favorite, bassist Tony Wakeford who had been a Socialist Workers Party member and guitarist Douglas Pearce who had been involved with the International Marxist Group began to feel so alienated that they formally split from RAR. Wakeford and Pearce went on to form neofolk group Death in June, which began its career playing with the aesthetics of paramilitary fascism Nazism in particular as satirestances that became much muddier from there. Wakeford got the boot from the group in 1.

But Pearce, who keeps Death in June active still, continues to court controversy. Similarly, the splintering of both the UK and U. Eels Meet The Eels Rar' title='Eels Meet The Eels Rar' />S. Thatcher and Reagan during their tenures, brought about both racist skinheads and skinheads who reacted by speaking out against racism. All this ongoing friction and subsequent reaction, embedded in punks formation and carried through along multiple veins to the present, has also created some of the best and most relevant music to directly critique fascism in its many iterations. Here, we present just a few, shying away from many of the more obvious and well known choices here Dead Kennedys Nazi Punks Fuck Off, Oi Pollois Bash the Fash, etc. Johannesburg, South Africa, 1. National Wake, International NewsFollowing the 1. Soweto uprising, in which students protesting apartheid were murdered by state police, Ivan Kadey and brothers Gary and Punka Khoza did what countless others have done when feeling helpless and frustrated, in need of a voice they started a punk band.

They mixed Stooges esque garage, the repurposed disco structures and acerbic political analysis of bands like the Pop Group and Gang of Four, two tone ska, reggae, and African polyrhythms into one heady setlist. But more on the rowdy and raw hard rock end of things, International News took aim at the role of the international media in perpetuating both apartheid and the atrocities of the Angolan War of Independence with sensationalistic reporting. Unsurprisingly, National Wake found themselves the subject of state police surveillance and censorship, making it difficult to secure spaces to play. The pressure eventually split the band apart, but they hadnt been forgotten preserved through tape trading and Kadeys own record keeping, their recorded material is now available in its original, uncensored condition thanks to Light in the Attic. Belgium, 1. 97. 7 Basta, Abortus Vrij de Vrouw BeslistThose who have never had their reproductive systems regulated by the government may wonder why a song about abortion rights appears on a list of anti fascist punk songs those who know the danger of electing Mike Burial or Cremation for Aborted and Miscarried Fetuses Pence to one of the highest offices in the land may not. This 7 inch was Bastas only release, and one of the first Belgian punk releases of any sort. Beyond this significance, the song is incredibly catchy, with a saxophone line reminiscent of Lora Logics dissonant contributions to X Ray Spex and Essential Logic, and a shouted chorus that was a common phrase at pro choice protests essentially meaning, yes, abortion for women. Belgium was actually one of the last countries to legalize abortion not until 1. Bastas urgent sounding record even more significant the sleeve listed clinics where abortions could safely be obtained. Rotterdam, Netherlands, 1. The Rondos, Which Side Will You Be OnThe Rondos were Maoist punks, leftist militants who provoked everyone from the Dutch Communist CPN party to closed mindedly Rastafarian culture to Crass, who held the Rondos at least partially responsible for the violence that often characterized Crass shows starting in 1. From the Rondos own biography Were we really communists We assented to it half mockingly and half seriously. In the beginning, our lyrics were non political or generally anti. Wayward, anyhow. Over time we became more serious about our communist image. More fanatical too, due to pressure from the outside. They had their own magazine Raket, or Rocket and alternative bookshop Raketbase, a hub for the early Dutch punk scene. Which Side Will You Be On was an urgent pogo and a call to action to do something, rather than sitting around talking endlessly about strategy. One cannot, after all, fight fascism by words alone. Austin, Texas, 1. The Dicks, The Dicks Hate the PoliceA blatantly Communist band fronted by an unapologetic fat gay man in Texas released their first single, in which said singer barked in the voice of a violent cop hell bent on abusing his power against the marginalized. The song contained few words and fewer chords, and yet, with an arch sneer, the singerGary Floyd, a genuine punk hero deserving of recognition beyond the undergroundcommunicated the essence of state power deployed in its most wretched everyday form. The Dicks Hate the Police is, at least to this writer, one of the greatest songs of all time, punk or not. Innumerable coverschief among them Mudhoneys most famous onesupport this theory. Essex, England, 1. Poison Girls, Bully BoysOver 4. Jewish refugee Vi Subversa found herself beloved by Crass and friends upon starting up her first punk band. Inspired by the wryness and hookiness of the Buzzcocks, Subversa brought a delicate balance of thoughtful consideration and pummeling ferocity to the burgeoning peace punk movement. Her history of real world activism also helped to accomplish some actual work against nuclear disarmament, among other causes. Bully Boys was a remarkably catchy little ditty, all buzzsaw guitars, throaty vocals, and punchy drums in service of implicating the role of machismo in National Front violence. The band said that the track, along with The Bremen Song about the Holocaust, led to racist skinheads attacking them at gigs and at home. Subversas lyrics were less the personal is political in the sense of isolating her experiences as being characteristic of grander political trends, and more the political is personal, focusing on how political systems manifest themselves in everyday life.
