Finland's most feral bands, Kieltolaki, Viemann Kolonna, Vaarinkasitys, Totuus, Sotatila, Omaisuusvahinko and Yhteiskunaan Ystavat gather forces to kick ass, but my favorite is the neck-snapping fury of Vaarinkasitys. If you hunger for bands with names you can't pronounce, get Propaganda Is Hippies in your earholes now!
Now is a play off Nigel Pepper Cock or the other way around?
ReplyDeleteI don't follow you.
ReplyDeleteDidnt Nigel Pepper Cock have an album called Punk is Hippies? Call me dumb but I never knew what that meant.
ReplyDeleteNot that I know of, but it is a play on the old GISM slogan "Punks Is Hippies"
ReplyDeleteanother question about the title: do you think its a reference to the way talk about peace, love, multiculturalism, and other liberal bullshit functions as capitalist ideology? if so that's pretty awesome. i've been looking a long time for bands that play left wing d-beat/crust/whatever without the spineless anarcho-hippie shit. oh and the music is absolutely ripping but that goes without saying.
ReplyDeletepavel
Chris is hippies. thanks
ReplyDeleteI think GISM was referring to the touchy feely nonsense in political punk at the time. GISM was nihlist and deconstructivist in that way.
ReplyDeleteThis compilation is way more awesome than this comments thread. Thanks once again for the upload, sir!
