1) Conflict is an anarcho-punk band originally based around Eltham in South London. Formed in 1981, the band's original line up consisted of: Colin Jerwood (vocals), Paco (drums), Big John (bass), Steve (guitars), Pauline (vocals), Paul AKA 'Nihilistic Nobody' (visuals). Their first release was the EP "The House That Man Built" on Crass Records. By the time they released their debut album It's Time To See Who's Who on Corpus Christi Records, Pauline and Paul had left the band. Conflict later set up their own Mortarhate label, which put out releases by other artists including Hagar The Womb, Icons of Filth, Lost Cherrees, The Apostles, Admit Your Shit and others.
In 1983 Steve Ignorant, at the time a member of the band Crass, guested on the band's pro-animal rights single "To A Nation of Animal Lovers." After the dissolution of Crass, Ignorant later became second vocalist for Conflict on a semi-permanent basis. This followed a 1986 gig in Brixton, London wherin he had joined the band on stage for a few numbers.
The band have always been outspoken regarding issues such as anarchism, animal rights, the anti-war movement and in their support for the organisation Class War, and a number of their gigs during the 1980s were followed by riots and disturbances. The band's 'Mortarhate' logo, originally designed by 'Nihilistic Nobody' is commonly mistaken as a reference to the initials CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament), but as quoted directly by paco the drummer for conflict is in actual fact a nihlist symbol. it incorporates two 'A's for anarchy and autonomy, and an 'N' for nihilism. The logo originally appeared around 1980 in Thanatos, a small circulation pamphlet produced by Toxic Graffity (sic) fanzine editor Mike Diboll.
The band continues to exist today, although their record releases and live performances are sporadic.

Violence?
With such a name as Conflict, most people would assume the title represents violence or war. Well, the name means just that, only in a different context. In such a world as the one we live in, corrupted by lust, abuse, addiction and a lack of sexual integrity, Conflict stands to counterattack society's ideas of morality, with God's divine purpose for His creation.
Vision
With a burden for today's generation of young people, Conflict's vision is to "speak life right into the face of death, and stand as an ambassador of Jesus Christ, to reconcile a love- relationship between God and His creation." Coming from a gang-related past and his father's fatal overdose of heroin, Conflict speaks a common language to young people of the urban culture
5) Conflict was a hardcore band from Tucson, AZ, together between 1982-1984. Fronted by the female vocalist/bassist Karen Allman, they played with the likes of Black Flag, Minor Threat, Ill Repute, Channel 3, D.O.A., and many more. They put out a self-released EP called "America's Right," then in 1983 they released their only studio album, "Last Hour" (on Placebo Records). They also have 3 songs on the compilation "This is Phoenix, Not the Circle Jerks." The band was known for their biting feminist lyrics in an era when hardcore was highly male-dominated.
5) Conflict Special Goa/Psytrance Project from Jerusalem, also known as Do-D-Idea.
I've Had Enough
Conflict Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You think that women are just here for thrills
Your filthy morals just fucking stink
Don't try and get my hands in your sink
Don't call me your "bird"; I'm not your pet
Well, I've had enough, right up to my neck
This is mankind and mankind kills
This is mankind and mankind kills
Why should women pay for man's thrills?
Why don't you get married?
Wear that wedding ring?
Can't she see it's the only respectable thing?
She'll cook his meals
Sleep in his bed
Do anything he says
The song "I've Had Enough" by Conflict is a powerful and provocative protest song that deals with issues of misogyny, sexism, and violence against women. The lyrics explicitly condemn the patriarchal society that allows men to dominate and exploit women, both physically and psychologically. The opening line, "This is mankind and mankind kills," sets the tone for the rest of the song, which goes on to criticize the objectification of women and the glorification of male power.
The lyrics expose the ways in which women are often reduced to nothing more than sexual objects, with men using them for their own pleasure and amusement. The line "You think that women are just here for thrills" represents this objectification, highlighting the way that men view women as something to be used and discarded. This kind of behavior is further criticized in the lyrics "Your filthy morals just fucking stink/Don't try and get my hands in your sink," which suggest that men's attitudes towards women are not only morally reprehensible but also dirty and repulsive.

Loved this song since I first heard it in the early/mid 80's. Lyrics are sadly more relevant than ever, as our world and its greedy overlords have more power than ever before.
Keep fighting the good Fight my friends :)

One of the few Crass records singles I didn't own, they go for a pretty penny on Ebay these days. Ironic as they all cost under a quid.
