I heard them once or twice described as "one of the Crass bands" so I assumed they shared a band member or two. I just did a quick 60 second Google search and it looks like they have an indirect crossover. They're on a few of the same comp releases, probably played shows together at some point.

aiui "Crass bands" refers to bands who were on the label - a lot of bands put out one release and then formed their own labels after, I think that may have been a deliberate label policy

also good q about who changed more people, I love 'em both but Chumbawamba has an emotional impact for me that Crass doesn't.

the left has certainly "pissed away" the good will it built up in the post-trump, post-brexit era, when people felt open to alternatives to the neoliberal status quo. the moment has passed, tubthumping again becomes the most prescient song of the era or something.

yes, although one they (Crass) kind of circumvented by having another label they put out subsequent records on (Corpus Christi), and there were a few bands that had more than 1 record on Crass records - Dirt, Poison Girls, KUKL

first they came for the Tubthumpers, and I did not speak because I got knocked down but couldn't get up
