Anarchist punk band from Norwich, UK. Formed in late 1980, the band got off to an early start with a demo of Napalm being released by Crass Records on the Bullshit Detector compilation.
1981 saw the recording and release of the first single, Young Offender, on the band's own label, Radical Change Records. This was a surprise hit in the indie charts and far outsold all expectations. The track Young Offender also appeared on Punk & Disorderly compilation.
By 1983 the band had a settled lineup of Steve, Kev, Paul & Steve.
The band were believers of direct action, which led to various arrests and court cases. They were also very active in their support of other bands, with releases by Destructors, Icon AD, Revulsion & Self Abuse on the band's Radical Change label, as well as organising gigs.
The band split in 1988, disillusioned with the growing divides within the scene.
The band reformed in 2007 for Steve Ignorant’s ‘Feeding of the 5000’ gig and four years later released the ‘Generation Retard’ album.
Overground Records have released two retrospective releases: ‘Gas the Punx’ CD and a blue vinyl compilation LP ‘Open wounds: 1980-2011’.
