Description
The Pop Group - For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder RARE LP
The Pop Group was a post-punk band from Bristol, England whose dissonant sound spanned punk, free jazz, funk and dub reggae. Their lyrics were political in nature more often than not.
Formed in 1978 by Mark Stewart (lyrics, vocals), John Waddington (guitar), Gareth Sager (guitar), Simon Underwood (bass) and Bruce Smith (drums, percussion), they issued their debut single, "She is Beyond Good and Evil" on Radar Records the following year.
Their debut album Y, was produced by reggae veteran Dennis Bovell to critical acclaim but low sales figures. Although it did not chart, the album's success was sufficient to convince Rough Trade to sign the band, but not before more line-up changes, with Dan Katsis replacing Underwood on bass.
The band's career with Rough Trade commenced with what is possibly their best-known single "We Are All Prostitutes", which featuring a guest appearance by free improviser Tristan Honsinger on cello. This was followed by the release of their second album, For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder? in 1980. It featured a collaboration with American musical/poetry group The Last Poets. It is currently unavailable commercially on cd or vinyl and very hard to find.
Track listing: Forces of Oppression, Feed the Hungry, One Out of the Many, Blind Faith, How Much Longer, Justice, There Are No Spectatorsm, Communicate, Rob a Bank
