Plymouth enters the race for exciting City of Culture title
11-02-2026 A photo of our gig in 2024 at The Junction was used for Plymouth’s entry to the City of Culture competition. It will be great if there will be more investment in Plymouth’s music scene. https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/plymouth-officially-enters-race-exciting-10808281 We played there in 2024 at a sold out gig at The Junction. Great people and a great venue. Photo in the article by William Telford.

30 YEARS OF REBELLION
Photo taken by Simon Balaam in Germany on a derelict railway track. How do you celebrate and honour 30 years of the world’s largest independent Punk & Alternative festival – one that brings together a global family of rebels and misfits. It will have to be a special set! Rehearsals are already underway for this milestone year, and after much thought, we’ve decided to perform the full 'Feeding Of The Five Thousand' album – as announced last year. It was the first record I ever

Petesy Burns
In disbelief, I’m saying goodbye to the light and love that was Petesy. A big man with an even bigger heart has gone, and I’ll miss you more than words can say. I raise a glass in your memory and send all my love to Anthea, your family, and friends. See you on the other side, brother—save a place for me. Photos from Manchester Academy in 2022, when The Hoakers played with us. Petesy joined me on stage to sing his favourite Crass song, 'Banned From The Roxy'. I first met Petes

Steve Ignorant Band - AB Brussels 16th May 2026
Punk 50 , is AB’s celebration of fifty years of chaos, freedom and bold expression. We honour the rich past, the vibrant present and the future of punk with exhibitions, films, talks, a ‘zine market and a hard-hitting line-up of international icons, Belgian legends and the new generation of punk musicians. According to The Guardian they were “musically, artistically and politically the most extreme band to emerge from the initial wave of punk”. They derived their name from th

STEVE IGNORANT BAND - CRASS - Rebellion 2026 Confirmed
When we recorded ‘Feeding Of The Five Thousand’ we had no idea of what a spark it would fuse. We seriously thought it would only sell 15 at most – how wrong we were! It was the first record I’d ever done, so it’s always been a bit special to me; for me it’s the benchmark for what Crass was about – raw and rough with no pretensions. After we released our second album ‘Stations Of The Crass’ we were aware that we were in danger of being seen as a ‘boot-boy’ band, so we recorded
