Crass was a British anarchist punk band in the late seventies and early eighties. Performing under banners reading "No War but the Class War, and singing songs about smashing the state, animal rights, boycotting work, Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, they refused to sell their records for a profit. They have a strong American parallel in their Do It Yourself anti-commodity values (though not in the slightest in musical terms) with the Washington, DC band Fugazi, who refuse to charge a profit on albums or charge more than five dollars for a concert ticket.
