Crust punk (sometimes simply Crust) is one of the extreme evolutions of anarcho-punk and hardcore punk mixed with distorted metal guitar riffs.

Like hardcore punk it is played at a fast tempo with shouted vocals and political lyrics. The guitar playing is similar to that used in extreme metal genres such as thrash metal, although it is more simplistic.

History

Crust punk evolved out of the early 1980s British anarcho-punk movement. It was founded by the bands Amebix and Antisect, with the Arise LP and Out from the Void single, respectively. The term "crust" was coined by Hellbastard on their 1986 Ripper Crust demo. In addition to incorporating an extreme metal influenced sound onto the existing punk genres of anarcho punk and hardcore, crust punk presented a lyrical shift in focus from the earlier peace punk bands. Unlike the relatively optimistic and idealistic lyrics of bands like Crass, crust punk featured dark, pessimistic lyrics, often lingering on the bleak aftermath of nuclear war. Amebix, formed in England in 1978 as The Band with No Name, were a band that many consider to have started the sub genre crust punk. ... Antisect were an anarcho-punk (and eventually crust punk) band formed in 1982 in Daventry, Northamptonshire, UK.

The Titan II ICBM carried a 9 Mt W53 warhead, making it one of the most powerful nuclear weapons fielded by the United States during the Cold War. ...

The musical template created by Amebix was a slow, sludgy sound, much removed from the thrashing speed of most punk. This would lay the foundation for later Stenchcore bands. Crust bands tended to be very influenced by the 80s Scandinavian hardcore scene, taking that sound and adding more distortion, screams and faster tempo, sometimes including blastbeats. Bands like Doom, Excrement Of War, Electro Hippies and Extreme Noise Terror were some of the first bands to have that traditional UK "Crust" sound, sometimes the lines between more D-beat centered bands and Crust punk bands is often blurred. Scandinavian hardcore often refers to a a style of hardcore punk that originated in the 1980s that is somewhat associated with D-beat. ...

In the 1990s, several more hardcore punk-oriented and less metallic outfits were formed, most notably Aus-Rotten. However crust punk in the 1990s in Minneapolis (where it had a long history with bands such as Misery, Destroy, and several others) and the West Coast incubated and gave birth to a huge crust explosion that influences hundreds of bands and continued the heavy metallic influences stated above. Dystopia and the record label Life is Abuse was a crucial element along with very early 1990's "So-Cal" bands such as Apocalypse, Glycine-Max, and Mindrot, to name a very few. Up in Oakland bands like Skaven started a strong crust scene in 1994 along with El Dopa and several if not dozens of bands that were influenced and (if lucky) recorded by the big brother band Neurosis. Oakland continues as one of the strongholds of the crust punk scene. (This information can be found through Life is Abuse record label website.)

Crust Punk continues to remain strong in its own scene into the 2000s, with lyrics criticizing George W. Bush. Crust punk has seen no interest by major labels and has had no commercial success in the mainstream market. Notable crust bands in the 2000s are Resistant Culture, Iskra, Against Empire, Behind Enemy Lines, Extinction of Mankind and Tragedy. In recent years there have been a large number of ska- and reggae-influenced crust bands, such as the Toxic Narcotic spin-off Mouth Sewn Shut and San Diego's Basura.

Many elements of crust punk art and imagery can be seen in the peace punk movement from which it evolved. Crust punk art work is typically collage or stark pen drawings that derives much of its apocalyptic imagery from the artwork of Icons of Filth and much of its lyrical direction from Discharge.

Musical style

Crust punk is a derivative form of hardcore punk and anarcho punk mixed with extreme metal riffs. The tempos are often fast, but rarely to the point of thrashcore or grindcore. Vocals are often in the dual form (often male and female), very shrill and/or throaty and guttural. The dueling male and female vocals are drawn from their use in anarcho punk. The guitar work is typically very gritty, unpolished, bass-heavy and very metallic. Guitar solos are seldom used and some groups do not use large amounts of metal in their sound, such as Aus-Rotten. Drumming is typically Scandinavian-influenced drumming done at high speed with d-beats sometimes being used. The lyrical content of crust punk tends to be very bleak and nihilistic and extremely political.

Crust punk songs are often about nuclear war, militarism, animal rights, police, and oppressive states. Crust punk is one of punk's least recognizable forms due to metallic elements and extreme vocal style and is at times mistaken as a form of metal. Some bands have a slow "sludgy" sound, such as Dystopia. Formed in Orange County, California in 1991, Dystopia are a sludge band, popular in both the heavy metal and crust punk scenes, due in large part to their bleak, misanthropic imagery. ...

Fashion

Crust punk is a very DIY oriented branch of punk fashion. It is also very confrontational due to the presence of war related and nihilistic imagery. As many punk genres do, crust punk fashion includes band and political t-shirts in the abundance. An element of crust punk fashion that is fairly well known is the use of denim jackets or vests covered in studs, spikes and band/political patches. Baseball caps covered in patchs are also common. Crust punk patches are typically political as well. Some crust punks screen print their own patches at home or in squats. Another common element of crust is use of dental floss to sew fabric together due to its durability and ease of use. Pants tend to be bondage pants, work pants, Carhartt pants & overalls, or stretch jeans covered in patches. Bum flaps, displaying political slogans or band names are also common. Bullet belts are also seen often on crust punks. Jewelry varies greatly, it ranges from hemp bracelets to spiked wristbands to lengths of chain secured with padlocks or carabiners.

Footwear tends to be either combat boots or second hand/salvaged shoes, typically beat-up Converse Chuck Taylor's. Hair is done in a number of different ways, mohawks and liberty spikes dyed bright colors (often seen on street punks, etc.) are relatively uncommon, with dreadlocks (along with its variant the dread hawk) and long unkempt hair being far more common. Large numbers of piercings and tattoos are also common, with many being done by crusties at home.Many crusties tend to be very unclean and unsanitary such as not washing there clothes for years not showering and being dirty

Ideology

Crust punk ideology (or perhaps more specifically, the application of said ideology) is a more extreme version of anarcho-punk ideology. Crust punks attempt to live out anarchism as fully as possible, by living in anarchist squatter communities, and trying to avoid taking part in capitalist society. The ideology prevalent in crust punk can be best seen in their song lyrics. Common themes include: anarchism, anti-oppression, current events, financial/emotional depression, environmentalism, veganism/vegetarianism/Freeganism, racial equality, squatting, non-conformity, feminism and abolishing sexism, religious control, Homophobia, censorship and nuclear destruction.

Crust punk can be credited as one of the social phenomena which pushed modern anarchism towards lifestyleism along with its forbearer peace punk. Crust punks are even more militantly opposed to religion than their anarcho-punk forebears. Many crust punks are atheist and inspired to live by the ideal of "No Gods, No Masters". However, some crust punks adopt Pagan spirituality due to its connection to nature, the Earth, and the environment, specifically forms of North American native spiritualism are becoming more common in crust punk culture even to point of bands adopting native American music into their style, a prime example is the LA group Resistant Culture.

The traveller/new age movement has had some influence on the modern crust punk movement, however this is met with much disdain by some members of the crust community. The Hippie counterculture is a very significant influence as well, coming through anarcho-punk. The hippie influence manifests itself in a variety of ways, from the street activism to communes to the connection with the earth. The use of hippie cultural elements in crust is often one of main reasons for the dislike more traditional punks have of crust. New Age describes a broad movement characterized by alternative approaches to traditional Western culture. ... For the British TV show, see Hippies (TV series). ... Counterculture (also counter-culture) is a sociological word used to describe the values and norms of behavior of a cultural group, or subculture, that run counter to those of the social mainstream of the day,[1] the cultural equivalent of political opposition. ...

The DIY ethic

Crust punk bands have taken on what is known as a DIY ethic: that is, "do it yourself." In this way one can bypass the traditional recording and distribution routes, with material often being made available in exchange for "a blank tape plus self-addressed envelope". The anarcho-punk and crust punk movement also has its own network of zines which disseminate news, ideas, and artwork from the punk community. Again, these are very much 'DIY' affairs, produced in runs of hundreds rather than thousands (in most cases), printed on photocopiers or duplicator machines, and distributed by hand at shows or gatherings. The DIY ethic (do it yourself ethic) refers to the ethic of being self-reliant and doing things yourself as opposed to paying others to do it. ... See also: DIY Network, a cable TV network. ...

Outside influence

Crust was affected by a second wave of influence in the 1990s, with some bands being influenced more by early black metal; Iskra for example, are probably the most obvious modern example of black-metal-influenced crust punk. Iskra coined their own phrase "blackened crust" to describe this new style. Earlier examples could be found in Black Kronstadt (especially the "Free Spirit" LP). Blackened crust is however generally discounted by fans of black metal, as they argue that because it is political it isn't black metal. Iskra is a Canadian, anarchist crust punk and extreme metal band, founded in Victoria, British Columbia in 2002. ...

Many crust punks with acoustic guitars have found inspiration in "outlaw country" and the progressive leaning folk music of the 1960s and '70s, as well as a huge influence specifically from Woody Guthrie as well as traditional Irish music. This meld of crust and folk is commonly referred to as folk-punk. This is more prevalent in the "train-hopping" set however, than in crusties living in large cities. In the early 1990s, members of the crust/grindcore band Disrupt formed a band called Grief. Grief's depressed slow blend of punk and doom metal inspired the burgeoning sludge metal genre, along with bands like Dystopia and Eyehategod. Willie Nelson Outlaw country was a significant trend in country music during the late 1960s and the 1970s (and even into the 1980s in some cases), commonly referred to as The Outlaw Movement (both by fans and by people in the music industry) or simply Outlaw music [1].
