1. DIRT

   DIRT were an anarcho-punk band from the UK. Initially formed in 1980, the band frequently played with fellow anarchists Crass, before releasing their first EP, Object, Refuse, Reject, Abuse on the Crass Records label. Their second release, Never Mind Dirt, Here's the Bollocks, also on the Crass label, was a live LP released in 1982. The band went into a brief hiatus after 1982 when they took to the road again and recorded the Just An Error album, after which they split in 1986. Gary and Deno reconvened the band yet again, in 1992, and began touring extensively which resulted in the Drunks in Rusty Transits album after which the band was dissolved. Singer Gxist later formed Stratford Mercenaries with Steve Ignorant of Crass. The original bass player, Vomit, went on to form Earth Culture, a neo-pagan band.
