THE MOB - No Doves Fly Here 12"

Punk pioneers Crass continue their vinyl reissue series, re-pressing their limited releases by adjacent artists through Crass Records, in association with One Little Independent. The series, including over twenty bands and solo artists recorded at the legendary Southern Studios and produced by Penny Rimbaud, continues with two more historic pieces from the Crass Records catalogue; THE MOB and SNIPERS.

‘No Doves Fly Here’ is one of Crass Record’s most enduring songs; stark, atmospheric, and unsparing in its critique of militarism and the brutalities of war. With its mournful orchestration, ominous guitar work, and spoken word delivery, The Mob’s 1982 release stands as a protest song as impactful and poignant now as it was then. Formed in Yeovil in the late ‘70s, The Mob were closely connected to Crass, the free festival scene, and their own DIY imprint All the Madmen Records. Mark, frontman of The Mob, founded Rockaway Park, which also houses The Chapel of Unrest - the art and activism collective whose grassroots ethos mirrors the intent behind these recordings. Known for hosting radical film screenings, gigs, public assemblies, and installations, Rockaway Park has become a sanctuary for oppositional culture and creative resistance.

The Mob are donating their proceeds to international humanitarian organisation Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders).
