Conflict

With the exception of Crass, no British anarcho-punk band was as celebrated (or as prolific) as Conflict. One of the most intense and passionate groups on the scene, Conflict played brutalist, no-frills punk rock with a tough, aggressive edge while their lyrics were furious broadsides against war and class division, and in support of anarchist principles and animal rights. Founded by vocalist Colin Jerwood, the band established their template on 1983's It's Time to See Who's Who. Though they experimented with relatively elaborate production and artful audio collages on 1986's The Ungovernable Force and 1989's Against All Odds, their unapologetic attack ultimately changed little with the passage of time, as their musical ferocity walked hand in hand with their ideals.
