Crass single reviewed in Sounds, 17 March, 1984, by Dave Tibet.
Crass ‘You’re Already Dead’ (Crass) Sema ‘Music Extract From Rosa Silber’ (Le Rey)
Two releases that show that, lurking in the midst of the sewers of pop garbage, there are still those who care and dare. Crass seem to get slagged off by everyone due to the obvious conviction that permeates everything they do. This is another scream of anger and defiance that sees them dropping some of their recent ‘sophistication’, and lurking back into the battleground. These people deserve your support. Ladies and gentlemen, the fight is on. Sema come up with a masterpiece that is as disturbing as Crass’ is aggressive, two sides of soundtrack for an imaginary film that will linger decaying in your mind for a very long time. Forget The Smiths, the rot stops here! SEMA, available from 69 Swinburne Court, Denmark Hill, London SE5.
