The Cravats were a criminally underrated art-punk group who were involved with Small Wonder, a label who put out early releases from Crass, The Zeros, Angelic Upstarts, Bauhaus and The Cure among others. Crass Records also released the Cravats' 1982 single "Rub Me Out", which is another great record and further proof that the Crass Records lineup was quite diverse. "You're Driving Me / I Am the Dreg" is a bizarre and creeping mixture of post-punk, anarcho-punk, and ska that isn't so much "ahead of its time" as "in a time of its own". Their 1980 full-length release "In Toytown" is also great and shows even more versatility from this unique and consistent band.
