Electro Hippies - The Only Good Punk & Play Fast Or Die

Electro Hippies were a British trash/hardcore punk band, formed in 1985 in St Helens/Wigan.
Though they were short-lived and underground through their career, their music influenced many future crust, hardcore punk and grindcore bands. The band relied heavily on low bass end sounds to create their low-fi, primitively produced music. They also incorporated elements of heavy metal. The band strongly embraced the D.I.Y. ethic which was very common among many early hardcore punk bands. The band's lyrics spoke heavily about animal rights and vegetarianism.
Electro Hippies split up in 1989, playing one last gig at Planet X in Liverpool and releasing the show as their final album.
