Steve Ignorant Band 'Doing It Our Way' book cover

LAUNCHING AT THE Rebellion 2023 festival, a brand new and extensively illustrated ‘tour book’ documents the history of the Steve Ignorant Band since its formation in 2019.

Doing It Our Way describes how the band was created, by the musicians of Slice of Life and their new percussionist Jay, to take Crass songs out on tour across the UK and beyond.

Live and behind-the-scenes photographs by Simon Balaam are mixed with the testimony of band members and Ignorant’s recollections of each and every gig the band have played.

Self-published by Ignorant’s Dimlo Productions, this new paperback features ‘writing from Penny Rimbaud on the back cover’.

The photos combined with Steve’s writing about every single gig shows the passion and love that the band and the people that watch them have for those iconic Crass songs. It’s a powerful bond that can not be broken.
