Aus Rotten - The Rotten Agenda






Aus-Rotten (German: ausrotten = "to exterminate") was an American anarchist hardcore punk group from 1992 to 2001, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh City Paper has described them as "arguably the most important band of the '90s anarcho-punk renaissance."[1] They combined the direct action attitude of early 1980s anarcho-punk with a new, heavier sound that was closely associated with crust punk.

Many of their songs dealt with government, capitalism, sexism, capital punishment, religion, animal rights and other controversial topics. Havoc Records states that the band's 1994 "~censored~ Nazi Sympathy" 7" remains the label's "best selling record to date with over 20,000 copies pressed."[2] They also boasted having one of the longest crust songs ever (from their 1999 LP And Now Back To Our Programming...) at 15:53.

Aus Rotten released "The Rotten Agenda" LP on their own Rotten Propaganda label in 2001. Aus Rotten broke up in 2001. Singer Dave is now in Behind Enemy Lines while Corey and Eric are in Caustic Christ. Rich who played drums on this 7" is in All Systems Fail.

Aus Rotten - Not A Single Fuckin' Hit


Aus-Rotten was a Hardcore punk group which was closely associated with street punk and anarcho punk, formed in the early 1990s in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh City Paper has described them as "arguably the most important band of the '90s anarcho-punk renaissance." They combined the direct action attitude of early 1980s anarcho-punk with a new, heavier sound. Many of their songs dealt with the government, capitalism, sexism, capital punishment, religion, animal rights and other controversial topics. Havoc Records states that the band's 1994 "Fuck Nazi Sympathy" 7" remains the label's "best selling record to date with over 20,000 copies pressed." They have also have boasted having one of the longest Crust songs ever, being nearly 16 minutes in length. They toured Japan briefly in 1998.

The band is perhaps most famous not for its musical originality, but more for its radical, sharp, and quotable lyrics (e.g. "People are not expendable, government is" and "As long as flags fly above us, no one's really free"), as well as for their strong anti-fascist stance, which, according to the interview on the ABC No Rio documentary, got them threatened at least once. Aus-Rotten went on a hiatus in the mid 90s and during that time Dave formed Human Investment with Andy of Anti-Flag and Corey and Eric formed Doomsday Parade. Aus-Rotten broke up for good in early 2001 and members have gone on to form Caustic Christ and Behind Enemy Lines.
