Here's another group who appeared on the "Earth Rapers and Hell Raisers" compilation. Long before Against Me and all the bike-punk crap that is out there these days, Pollution Circus was a band that combined ultra lo-fi tunes and militant anarchist lyrics. The songs are simple and full of spite. These tracks, like their song on "Earth Rapers", are rather poorly played and recorded but somehow that lends to the urgency and effect. This 7" and a few compilation tracks are all that they released. Go here for the "In the Spirit of Total Resistance" comp. and another PC track. I found a little info about Pollution Circus on the web, including a Myspace page run by one of the former members and another short info page.

ReplyDeleteHey! I updated the link... thanks for letting me know it had gone bad. Not sure what went wrong as there were a dozen downloads before it messed up.
ReplyDeleteAs an old punk myself, I think the word "punk"and the word activism should be inseparable. Animal rights, world pollution and the humans destroying the earth- that's what we should writing about, talking about, shouting about!
