Live at Luton Library Theatre

This text is taken from the website where I found the track originally.

"When people think about anarcho-punk they often have in mind lots of identikit sub-Crass/Conflict thrash punk bands. There was plenty of that -- and some of it was really good -- but there was also quite a lot of musical diversity, from more melodic humourists like Blyth Power to mutant funksters like Slave Dance. One of the most interesting bands on the whole scene were No Defences, who as far as I know never released a record apart from a track on a compilation album. They were mesmerising live, delivering monotone litanies of abuse and rage over sophisticated time signatures. I saw them at squat gigs in London (including at the Ambulance Station, Old Kent Road), and they came to Luton to play at a hunt sabs benefit gig we put on at Luton Library Theatre, also featuring Chumbawamba. This track was recorded that night (30.5.1985). -- 'we don't live anywhere, no sense of being in the world...'"

An excellent blog, take a look!

I remember seeing them myself a couple of times and always did like them. Sadly, not a lot of there stuff about, just a few tracks on compilations and the 'legendary' unreleased album destined for Crass records...if you can find it.

...oh and a recording of Chumbawamba at the same gig can be found at http://killyourpetpuppy.co.uk/news/?p... ...another excellent site worth a visit.

...as it happens I came across what I think is a blog with links to tracks recorded at the Luton Library gig of No Defences. http://anarchoscene.blogspot.com/2011... there are links to a bunch of their stuff on that page.the luton library tracks can be found via http://www.box.net/shared/49magtu8jdq...
