The Mob is an English anarcho-punk band, formed in Yeovil, Somerset in the late 1970s.
History
The band's initial line-up consisted of Mark Wilson (vocals, guitar), Curtis Youé (bass guitar) and Graham Fallows (drums). Later drummers included Adie Tompkins, Tim Hutton and Joseph Porter.
The group produced a fanzine titled All the Madmen from 1978 onwards, named after a track by that title on David Bowie's 1970 album The Man Who Sold The World. The Mob's first two singles "Crying Again" and "Witch Hunt" were released on the group's own label All the Madmen Records in 1980. The band's only album Let the Tribe Increase was released on All The Madmen in 1983. Profits from the LP were ploughed back into the label, co-organised by members of the collective that published the Kill Your Pet Puppy zine. which included headlining the 'Chaos in Tejas' festival in Austin, Texas.
Legacy
Penny Rimbaud of Crass has described "No Doves Fly Here" as "one of the most beautiful singles of the punk era"
