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.
