First heard on their mentors Crass's label, their 'to a nation of animal lovers' EP inspired anti-vivisection, anti-hunt campaigns. Espousing direct action and numerous political causes, on their own Mortarhate label (through Jungle) they dominated the top of the singles and albums indie charts through the eighties. Gigs turned into full-scale riots, with hundreds arrested, leading to national outrage headlines. Police banned them from performing in the UK, so they went underground and abroad. They kept touring; a resurgence of interest in the punk movement reactivated them in the 21st century and they continue to have a dedicated audience.
