The Mob - No Doves Fly Here

Here's another one from the anarcho-punk archives. Like a lot of 1980s punk, it dealt with the prospect of nuclear war (and in a particularly apocalyptic fashion, it has to be said). In my old-fogey moments I've often pondered how difficult it must be for Kids These Days to understand what an enormous fear that was back then. Strange that we seem to have largely gotten over it, even though there are more nukes in more (and madder) people's hands now than ever before.

Anarcho-punk doesn't really lend itself to having many songs that you could truly call classics of the genre, but this is one of them.
