What about them? They were a long standing anarcho-punk band well before they got popular.

we do, they're called taxes

Someone (June 2, 2002)

They've also been blowing them up. And the point people seemed to have missed about RAWA is that they're revolutionary (hence the name), they don't just concentrate on reformist shit like building schools, they're actually trying to change the entire fucked up system.

Someone (June 2, 2002)

Oh man, if its got Chumbawumba on it I HAVE to have it/
