Pat’s Vegan Anthem of the Week (edition #10)
PROPAGANDHI. ALL DAY. EVERY DAY.

Really trippy 1980′s anarcho-punk from the UK, very much in the same vein as Crass. Many of their lyrics had to deal with the tumultuous social/political climate that was the 80′s. Rudi Peni experimented… Continue reading »
