Description

Anthrax were an English anarcho-punk band formed in Gravesend, Kent, in 1980. They recorded their first demo in 1981 and went on to release two 7” EPs on Crass Records and Small Wonder Records. They appeared on compilations released by Crass Records, Mortarhate Records and Fightback Records. They toured outside the UK twice in the Netherlands with Dutch band The Ex. In 2007, the band issued a compilation album, ‘One Last Drop’, which included demos, both EPs, the Mortarhate compilation track and two live tracks. The band reformed in 2010, releasing new (and debut) album ‘All for the Cause’ in 2012. Two split singles followed in 2015.

Penny Rimbaud tells us; “Anthrax were a ‘south of the river’ band, hailing from what was then the industrial wastelands that fringed the Thames prior to gentrification. In a world that put profit before people, Anthrax chose to challenge that conceit with fast, raw outcries of indignation. Yeah, well who said so? Anthrax did, and they did it loud and proud against the horrific complacency of the mainstream. Capitalism Is Cannibalism? Yup, and the pots are on the boil; make mine rare. It was happening then, and it’s happening now, but beware, capitalism’s avid persistence is the very nature of our resistance. Wealth is a ghetto. Babylon will fall. The future is ours if we only dare take it.”
