Anarchy and peace, yes. May sound strange. But anarchy doesn't mean chaos. It means a lack of arbitrary rules and rulers. We all lead Ourselves🏴 ☮⚖📢
No Zzzzz your a subject in the uk 🇬🇧
That's right🏴☠️
Yes. People in general believe that anarchy is mayhem. It simply means no oversight and the people will take care of themselves
Awesome! You're diving right into the British anarcho-punk movement! I'm loving that you appreciate every aspect of these bands.
This song was written in response to the British government trying to pin conspiracy charges on an anarchist group without producing co-conspirators.They were accused of conspiracy with "persons unknown".This record was a benefit track to raise money for their legal defence.
Thanks Jamie I remember that
I was about to say the same, for me the song was a call to remind all of us in rebellion that we are not alone, love this song!
Cool! This is the first reaction channel I have seen doing political punk. I am stoked! It's so urgent to stand together as humans. And demand dignity from the billionaire class ⚖💪☮🔥📢
Absolutely spot on! ❤️😁
Justice and liberty for children next 🌏
People used to ridicule us for listening to this back in the 80s. Turns out these lyrics have survived and are still as relevant today as they were 40 years ago
Still sends shivvers down me, R.I.P Vi Subversa
I played a couple of gigs with Poison Girls when I was in an anarcho punk band around ‘83/84. Cool people, especially the singer, Vi, who was in her late forties at the time - incredibly old to my 18 year old self!
Which band? I was in Raw Noise, then E.N.T.
Had loads of ENT but think i only ever heard Raw Noise on the punks not dread lp
They are an older Band?
I didn't know them.
Time to find more!!!
@@DazzleMonroe Í remember my mate playing your ep in the 80s, turned a grey day in Dublin a bit more tolerable.
me too! ;-) Highlight of my brief career as a punk poet was performing in the Ambulance Station (squat venue) with the Poison Girls getting ready behind me. Would have been 84/85
One of my most prized pieces of vinyl was a single with this and Crass' Bloody Revolutions' on the other side. Both bands were great.
Mate you make my day reacting to crass conflict and poison girls. This and big a little a changed my entire way of looking at music and the world in general. I was 12 when I bought this........it was on the other side of the single to bloody revolutions which you reacted to.
The thing I love about anarcho punk of this era is it's relevance today.
You are a chuffing star to react to this stuff fella.
Do banned from the Roxy or smash the Mac
Love your reaction , I was lucky enough to see crass and Poison girls at a local bar when I was 17 (40 years ago) and it all still rings true , however I feel I need to explain 'persons unknown' , its a term used here in Britland relating to criminal charges when the police have no names to go on, ie ' it is charged that on the night in question you and persons unknown committed ....etc etc ' , usually refers to conspiracies etc :)
Yeah, - They tag "conspiracy to" in front of whatever political charge they're pressing and things get serious.
Try The Mob No Doves Fly Here also on Crass records
Hey there T! You are an honorary early 80's anarcho punk. I'd have taken you to all the gigs!
Good wishes from England. Nearly 60 but still listen to this.
Love these reaction videos
I’m now an old aged punk but these songs paved who I am and it’s great to see your reactions to them not just the music but what it meant. Punk / anarchism was and is a way of life for many. Great times and very fond memories of that era
Thank you for taking the time to get a sense of what it was about
i’ve been a punk right from this time, bought this when it came out, still love it now, still living a alternate live style
the lyrics are still so bang on, and i loved your reaction to the lyrics, your face to black men who cant forget, was great
peace and love Briam
❤ can't believe someone is reacting to Poison Girls. many thanks x
This originaly was part of a split single with Crass (Bloody Revolutions/Persons Unknown) that was produced to finance a venue called the Autonomy Centre which was to be an anarchist punk venue and bookshop in London.
Wow this is different and I love it, great reaction my friend ❤️. That voice sounds really familiar.. never ever heard of this band.
One of my favorite punk records ever, it was the B-side to the Crass Bloody Revolutions single, which is an amazing combo.
This is how I found out about the poison girls by buying a crass 7".
How dare you! It was a double A-side!
Excellent choice I was suggesting a few minutes earlier on the great Crass song. Try also "Poison Girls - Dirty Work"
A deep dive for sure, my Brother !
A friend of mine in San Francisco who managed the US affairs of Poison Girls. When I was in London in April of ‘83 I went out and had my long Goth hair cut into a Mohawk and was lucky enough to see the Girls that night. Hung out with Vi and her flock of surly little Crass scruffians. Pints of Scrumpy and many cigarettes 🚬 shared & smoked.
Ahh, mad, sweet, dissipated, wasted Youth…
Wow...I wish I could have been there
Vi Subversa was such as lovely person too. Her kids were in Rubella Ballet. She was a mother figure to us young punks.
Vi Subversa was so cool to us, as we were just out of high school, and she was an old granny with guts and great insight.
I'm really glad you found this song. Its meant so much to me in the past 20 years of my life. Crass changed my world view when I was 13. I'm thirty five now. The world is way worse then when crass was recording albums but their word are still relevant. Thank you for spreading the sound of resistance.
T, Penny is a man. There's also a great documentry about Penny and Crass called 'There is No Authority But Yourself' if your still looking at punk this is a real good insight into what the band was all about.
One of my favourite punk songs
They have a live album that really shows what this band was really about.
I would LOVE it if you would listen to Poison Girls' 'I'm Not A Real Woman'
Also:
Have you checked out Flux of Pink Indians?
Or Conflict?
You are SPOT on: these old anarcho-political punk bands' lyrics are still so relevant today.
🙌🏻
Check Out anything by Zounds.
Great choice of track, punk anthem. What a band, what a sound. Recommend 'Underbitch' to anyone new to Poison girls..RIP Vi Subversa❤
More Crass! :D
Systematic Death
Beg Your Pardon
That is epic Poetry
shit makes me cry man...all the old anarcho bands....i subscribed to your channel the only react channel i can stand...take care fam and keep rocking
Always been one of my favourites!!
Forgot how much I love this, still have the original in the attic
It was a reaction to some dudes got arrested and imprisoned on trumped up charges for terrorism acting with 'persons unknown' as they couldn't be linked to any terrorist group.

Eaten by ghouls always makes good requests and I have to confess that this one is new to me, not sure how they slid under my radar but always happy to add another punk band to my list. 🤘🏻
It was 1980 when I got into this as a 16 year old insecure small town kid! Didn't see the significance then! I'm 60 now and it's more hard hitting today 43 years on!
Thanks bud. X
Take a look into the story of the Poison Girls. It's VERY interesting!
You might wanna link stuff here!
At the time this was released, the U.K. police would say that a crime was committed by "person or persons unknown." Poison girls are saying that everyone was a suspect.
Damn, got to say this is one of the best commentary videos I have heard. especially with this style of music... Poison Girls is definitely in one of the best. If you get the chance check out Crass Agenda, and The Death of Imagination both by JJ Ratter aka Penny Rimbaud not punk more like Jazz ... Or more like the Jazzy Crass stuff put out..
Pleased to have seen them live! I too love your reactions, particularly to the political punk genre.
wow,deep dive. thanks for show casing this audio.!
Peace punk 4evr 🤘🤘🤘 grew up in the anarcho punk scene, no music hits like this for me.
Yep … one of the best ✊
Maybe Mssr. Ghouls will approve of a softer arm of the movement, too: howzabout Chumbawamba's "Mr. Heseltine"?
There are many gems from Chumbawamba!
I've been listening to them since before I was born
Still regularly do
Love this and your Crass reactions. New subscriber of the back of it.
TNT reacting to persons unknown??
Fucking get in...made my day...thank you
Great song ! ....... never heard of them but checking on Wiki I see that they formed in 1976 so right at the beginning of the British Punk explosion ....... around the same time as the iconic 'Sex Pistols'. ........ the pistol's songs 'God Save The Queen' and 'Anarchy in the UK' are punk classics
RIP Vi Subversa
Christian belief jog on
This brilliant. What a track. Good lad rocking on to it
I did. Many times.
Proud of you 🙏
Awesome track!
RIP Vi Subversa. Genius, mother, Ashkenazi Jew & fighter of the people
Thank you
Wow! Timeless lyrics which is incredible yet terrifying at the same time
Check out "Statement" the "Wargasm" version
I don't know how I got here but I'm impressed! Big ups to you for what you do and the way you do it! Here are some anarcho punk songs that I think that you should react to: The Mob - I wish, Riot/Clone - A letter to no one, Rudimentary Peni - The cloud song. Note that they are more personal and kinda depressing. Peace!
You are the only reactor who I have seen do Poison Girls (or as I pronounced their name Boys-n-Girls). Vi Subversa was 44 years old when she first played with the band. She had two children (a son and a daughter) who were in the punk bands Fatal Microbes and Rubella Ballet. She died in 2016 at the age of 80. I like this song and "State Control". Unfortunately, I can't afford to be on Patreon, but I would like to suggest you listen to Nina Hagen (Return of the Mother), Lene Lovich (I Think We're Alone Now), Lydia Lunch (Black Juju), and Crass (Reality Asylum).
So glad you played the B side of bloody revolutions 👍🏻
This song is about an infamous trail of some anarchists in the late 70s. The police tried to stich up the anarchists on terrorism charges. The cops claimed the anarchists were planningva bombing campaign The only evidence they had was items every hushold would have ( sugar, paraphin, candles etc). The police said it was a conspiracy between the accused and 'persons unknown'. The jury acquitted defendents because the evidence was pissarro poor and the trial was an obvious stich up. The jury was criticised by the judge for doing so.
You are right in saying the song is about how ordinary people need to speak out. It's also about how the ruling class and the state view us all with suspicion and will clamp down even on imagined threats.
In the UK with the Public order bill,which effectively bans demonstrations and laws banning strikes, this song is more relevant now than it was in the 1980s.I guess that's true for many areas of the world.
Solidarity
Think I like it
So cool 👍🏼. I love the Poison Girls
i think Vie Subversa was in her late 50's early 60 when they recorded this song
Stand strong stand proud by Vice Squad is another brilliant UK Punk Rock Strong, have a listen. Keep
Up the great work.
Not Vice Squad, never vice squad...one of the worst punk bands of the early 80's....chaotic dischord were great though...
It’s about a police raid on an anarchist centre.
Cool reactions on those hardcore punk songs, if you want try some Discharge, for instance the 3 songs A Hell On Earth/Cries Of Help/The Possibilty of Life's Destruction from the album Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing. These tracks are almost one long track. Curious what you think about it, thx!
Give ‘The Final Conflict’ by Conflict a listen 👍
You haavvve to listen to STATEMENT by Poison Girls.
A good and sensible comment on the song.
However, it is ironic you are doing it in a Metallica t-shirt (and the one with the "snek", for that matter), as Metallica have become notorious among anarchopunk artists and fans for turning a blind eye on issues, including the fact of the usage of their own music as a means of torture in Guantanamo. Maybe a reaction on Chumbawamba's song "Torturing James Hetfield" would be cool. ;-)
But no kidding, if you like Crass and Poison Girls, I guess you could also like Chumbawamba.
Let's have more of this stuff!
Cool I love poison girls... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
I'm going to keep suggesting you listen to Deathchurch by Rudimentary Peni.
Please listen to the punk/crust band Nausea from NYC. Checknout songs like Cyber God, Electrodes, New Generation (any of their albums ♥️)
Penny Rimbaud was the producer, he isn't a 'they'. Vi Subversa (the Poison Girls singer) was a brilliant woman. Met her loads of times in and around London and she was nothing if not human. Smoked, talked with a real gruff voice and nicked your chips (fries to you)!!
I learned of this group from Steven Stapleton's list of favorite bands.
Was Vi Subversa aware of people or personally know folk like Stapleton(Nurse With Wound),David Tibet(Current 93),Jhonn Balance(Coil),Genesis P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle) etc ?
Always wanted Vi to be my mother. I was 15
Dying in secret from poisons unknown. 😷 = 😱 =💉 =⚰️
Rudimentary peny my friend
Lmao Peni
WE anarchists invented RAP.
Fight war not wars
another good song by them is "daughters and sons" and ideologically unsound
Just a request going on the UA-cam channel that you probably won't see.
Crass. White punks on hope
Holy shit another one? Where does the you of the tube hide you my friend? Get more punk rock and I’ll betcha you find all my friends hiding in the shadows, watching, waiting for a man, a man what might bring their hidden songs to light! Dissidents and anarchists, rude boys and hooligans wishing someone would appreciate what they appreciate.
Not their best lyrically imo check out "Fear of Freedom"
Jesus never existed be-aware 🌏🇬🇧🦉
Whats the deal with these 'reaction videos'? Its always a certain demographic doing them.
What do you mean?
