The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks

Originally released as a double album on Flux Of pink Indian’s own Spiderleg Records in 1984 as the follow-up to their storming debut, Strive to Survive Causing Least Suffering Possible. The album was banned by several major retailers including HMV due to its sexually explicit title and cover art (you don’t say!). The album's lyrical content concerned violence between men and women, based on the experiences of a band member who had been sexually assaulted. The title was a Dada-style ploy to get attention for this social message.

The album featured artwork by Crass guitarist Andy Palmer reaching number two on the UK Indie Chart, spending fifteen weeks on the chart in total. It was later reissued in 1986 on band member Derek Birkett's own One Little Indian label. In an interview from 1984 the band said “...the reaction to The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks has actually distanced us from punk rock, because most punks, in Britain at least, haven't liked it. But judging from letters and people we've come into contact with, people who aren't into punk have really liked it.

We'd never put out anything that we didn't feel was up to scratch, musically or lyrically. I think that record is amazing. There are a lot of people who don't like that record because it's not based in rock and roll.”
