[kj] More on Lance Hahn, 1967-2007; piece he was working on The Mob, Brit post-punk, anarcho band

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Yeah, The Mob were a really cool gloomy post-punk kinda band that I 
think often gets overlooked because they had releases on Crass Records, 
so people think they will sound like Conflict or something, which they 
don't.

"Gates of Hell," "Witch Hunt" "I Wish" are some of my fave tracks.
