The Mob, were an Anarcho-punk band originally from Yeovil , Somerset , UK during the late 1970s and early 1980s . The band's initial line up featured:
Marc Mob was the bands center of attention with colourful (red) Dreadlocks and an angelic face. On the contrary his voice sounded doomed, his lyrics featuring topics such as nuclear bombs, war, wastelands, death and doom in general. HISTORY In 1981 Marc and Curtis relocated to Islington, London where they lived in a house run by the Black Sheep housing co-op. Josef Porta (also of British Anarcho-Punk-Bands Zounds and Null And Void ) took over on drums. Some of their allies in the anarchopunk scene ran the Community-Squats "Peace Centre" (today the residence of Amnesty International GB, where The Mob once played a benefit-show in the basement) and the "Ambulance Station" in South London. Josef Porta famously quit the band by saying, that he was sick of singing about children being slaughtered. He subsequently formed the group Blyth Power . The band broke up in December 1983.
