They lived collectively in a dilapidated squat house, sharing all food and money (and, occasionally, each other's bodies). They agitated for revolution and made allies with striking coal miners. And slowly but surely, they came to realize they were made for better things than the insular punk scene which had given them birth.This...

Its authors were an eccentric eight-piece outfit from Leeds, England who kept insisting that they were anarchists.
