OVERVIEW: Emerging in the late-'70s post-punk era, this militant gang of leftist radical politicos from Bristol specialised in a funk-driven cacophony of sound that was abrasive, strident, and ultimately very exciting. Railing against Margaret Thatcher's Tory government, the state of pop music, racism, sexism, etc., the Pop Group ushered in the early post-punk era and those who checked them out found an interesting melange of primitive rhythms and avant-garde guitar racket. Led by Mark Stewart, the Pop Group were unabashedly and stridently radical, and their first calling card was the classic single 'She Is Beyond Good And Evil". Newly remastered and featuring as a bonus track the non album B-side '3:38', on which album producer Dennis Bovell injects some dub madness to the proceedings.
