This is difficult for me to write. The anarchist punk musician activist who stood at the center of my own activism since I was a teenager, has made his step into \u2018the worlds that we cannot describe\u2019. So this is about Colin Jerwood \u2013 May 6, 1962 \u2013 June 2, 2025 -, the founder of Mortarhate Records and singer of Conflict.<\/p>\n

As relevant for the sake of activism, I don\u2019t want to segregate within the work of Mortarhate as a label and Conflict\u2019s work as a band, since the releases all encompass a politicalness, that does not put Animal Rights into a disconnected niche, but contextualize all fields of societal problematics, as they all stem from similar sources and dynamics.<\/p>\n

Up until today, no bands \u2013 after this part of the anarcho punk [just anarcho; call it what you will, since we may be moving beyond sometimes misleading \u2018category\u2019<\/em>] movement had initiated itself \u2013 programmatically had the strong impetus and enough luck to be embraced by their peers and movements surrounding them, to create and stand for Animal Rights \u2018in tonality\u2019, in punk and related genres, as did the bands whom we know these days who have been standing at the core of expressing what seemed to be a somewhat appropriate sentiment towards the ongoing faunacides<\/em>, exerted by societies globally.<\/p>\n

And of course societies that are speciesist (that is to say: the normal majorities within them) will not generate a critique of themselves in an appropriate form. What they might do is create cover ups and downplay the realities of their motives for injustice.<\/p>\n

Animal Rights Punk in the 1980ies opens the chapter of finally expressing what society is doing to animality, to nonhuman groups and individuals \u2013 not, as society claims, out of some kind of normality, cultural habits and traditions, but what they do out of \u201cnormalities\u201d of speciesist evilness from the onset on in the sense of utter injustice.<\/p>\n

Had it not been for this kind of activism in punk, up until now likely nobody would have voiced a critique based on > the societal critique overall, with this kind of quality of calling people to action. Most people who are creative in music, like in other arts, want to appeal to audiences and don\u2019t seek to seriously mobilize against society and mainstream values.<\/p>\n

The types of rebellion that are typically sold \u2018as such\u2019 in pop culture so far mostly have represented generational shifts and breaks, but as we see in the case of Animal Rights and the thread that has taken its initials mainly with a few punk bands in the early 1980es, here we have the rare incidence where music expresses political message and stands for a basic form of taking responsibilities for damages that our societies don\u2019t even acknowledge beyond any superficial level \u2013 and yes society puts their irresponsibilities into forms of entertainment. And albeit the independent sector too did of course not fall out of nowhere, we here clearly have a tangible turning point.<\/p>\n

This is a huge and unique legacy that Colin held together by standing for commitments and goals, and it\u2019s this continuity in Animal Rights activism, as part of an overall effort for paradigm changes, that may reasonably entail \u2013 as if it is a task passed on to each of us \u2013 what each of us, what we all make of our spans of living and dying.<\/p>\n

A lot of people will not be ignorant enough to buy into that idea of putting a fellow activist and spearhead simply into a form of how-a-past-history-will-then-be-told, since as we know: histories are always or mostly to be taken with a degree of caution; relevant parts of history (in terms of \u201cwho is causing or has been causing change \u2026 \u201c) don\u2019t fit into the filters of society, and fitting things into certain narratives can<\/em> stifle a complementary sense for the role of active participation. Own ways and methods of telling histories are important, since at the end of the day told fiction and untold realities can\u2019t be untangled in a process of sifting out what matters and what does not.<\/p>\n

The reason why Colin\u2019s efforts have such a huge effect personally on his recipients is, I believe, not because friends and admirers declared him to be a \u201cleader\u201d type of person or anything like that, neither did he publicly aim to be representing an image. The very idea of seeking to be someone that is put on a pedestal was not only something his recipients had no need for, when they appreciated his work; the need to sort individuals into \u201cfollowers\u201d and \u201cleaders\u201d was virtually proven to be unnecessary here and from the participatory standpoint illogical and not compatible with the messages that Colin expressed in his lyrics and ideas.<\/p>\n

A clear cut, serious and politically differing way is possible to live, and it\u2019s possible in creativity, as an expression of taking responsibilities, caring, altruism, etc.<\/p>\n

And only in such a non-hierarchical and gladly \u201cunsaleable\u201d, reasonable virtual practice, we get the revolutionary sense, that interestingly we lack so much in the anthropocene, in societies that claim some form of neutrality, that is nothing more but \u201cneutrality\u201d which excludes everything and everyone nonhuman. Majorities not only face, but equally drive ecocide, and many people see the atrocities of the human wars against animality somewhat as a matter of own survival and right, that they don\u2019t want to be questioned.<\/p>\n

On the creative level \u2013 in the foreground of this twist of taking passively and\/or actively part in the destructive dilemmas of being human in the first place \u2013 we now know that those individuals who created\/create forms of hardcore or punk (or anything) that expresses their serious opinions and feelings about the injustices against the world, that these people are contentwise<\/em> randomized by a mainstream society, that is much \u201ccloser by\u201d than all subcultures ever wanted to admit, and that thus these musicians are muted, not for being part of their \u201cmovements\u201d but on the level of expressed meaning, their subjects and commitment is hardly pro-actively supported in social contexts<\/em> which don\u2019t really want to overcome stubborn consumerism, but rather clog up movements by pretending to be all about change where it matters, where in reality a status quo is simply prolonged.<\/p>\n

Societies sort themselves out, by pushing messages, under the name of \u201cwe are all one\u201d, into hierarchical orders, putting a lot of redundance at the top of how they communicate and exchange ideas and content, while serious statements and sentiments are typically to be found at the margins \u2013 so that everyone will know that it\u2019s always gonna be these digestive processes of selecting (knee-jerk and almost \u2018automatized\u2019) that will condemn change towards all what stands outside of its processes (the world itself)<\/em>, to paradoxically turn into the tools of oppressing change itself \u2013 simply by projecting what is going happen (repetition) and what is \u201cnot viable\u201d (ill logic) in the counterfeit world for which standards are set, by what is offered and what is chosen. The more you leave this process, the more invisible you will get in their perpetuum mobile like habits in communication (in the broad sense).<\/p>\n

Colin is someone who filled a new space that he and his friends saw, with ideas, content, messages and a participatory mindset that he lived and manifested. To have \u201centered a new step in these galaxies\u201d is not about someone becoming a memorial\/Wikipedia page, with someone like him, I believe. The legacy we speak about here is much more about taking up the baton in a relay race, as the minimum.<\/p>\n

On April the 11th<\/sup> 2025 Colin wrote on Social Media:<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to sincerely apologise to one and all, that I was, unfortunately, unable to make an appearance at the last three Conflict gigs. This was due to a health condition which has floored me since November. Since I had to pull my part of that gig. In short, I can’t breathe properly. I’ve had my medication upgraded so hopefully I will be able return asap. In the meantime I am so so proud of the other Conflict members esp Fi for taking the baton.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for your support as ever and understanding.\u201d [Source: Facebook<\/a>, 16.07.2025]<\/p>\n

I wrote to him asking him if we could interview him, and on April the 25th<\/sup> Colin replied giving me his yes.<\/p>\n

After the shock of hearing about Colin\u2019s passing, we expressed our condolences to his family and some of his friends. His friend David from Knockout Booking & Records replied to us on the Jun the 3rd<\/sup> \u201cas far as I know Colin was working on the replies to your questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

We clearly hope that Colin was able to read our questions, and we hope he could see just how much we appreciate his work. We decided after the shock to put our questions on our site Tierrechtsethik.de. We wrote:<\/p>\n

We just learned about the passing of our activist friend Conflict’s singer and huge example to a generation in Animal Rights activism and punk: Colin Jerwood. We are, like everybody else, in deep shock and wish condolences to his family and friends.<\/p>\n

Colin had agreed, just a few weeks ago, to give us a written interview for Tierautonomie. We had heard that he had problems with his lungs, with his breathing as he let people know via facebook, hence we were worried and thought that he might now nevertheless have a pause, not making concerts for a short while, so we contacted Colin.<\/p>\n

And to our astonishment we must say, he agreed to give us a written interview. He did not have the chance to let us know the answers to these questions. But we are glad that that we could even just ask \u2013 also as a form to give him a critical feedback and an evaluation of the current situation with activism, anarcho punk and animal rights punk in particular; and with so many people out and about every inch of the mainstream, who are more about fame and money in today\u2019s punk spectrum.<\/p>\n

About resistance \u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n

Dear Colin, here are my (six) long questions. I hope they are okay and am very thrilled about this entire thing \u2013 to interview you after having been a huge admirer of your activism since I had my first Conflict record with 15 in 1983, having been deeply impressed at a gig in a pub in Stockwell London around that time, and with building my own activism from your example! If any question is weird or unclear, please let me know so that I can make the point of my question clearer. (It\u2019s a bit stupid when the questions are very long, since it looks weird if the answer is shorter, and maybe the questions seem unnerving to you in the way in which they are written, since they are a bit complicated. I just hope I am understandable in what I say, and if not, please let me know.)<\/p>\n

The course of resistance amidst amassing causes<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Starting the change<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Palang: Learning about your work that started in 1981 (after Crass from 1977 onwards kind of initiated the outspoken political social criticalness in what we typically term Anarcho-Punk today) I should say that you, alongside Icons of Filth and other bands, whom you also later featured on your release: \u201cthis is the ALF\u201d [1989, reissued with updated tracklist in 1998], that you initiated and stood for Animal Rights in the Anarcho Punk movement. Conflict and the Mortarhate label have been a if not the central driver. How did you get the impetus in the early years to write tracks like Meat Means Murder on It\u2019s Time To See Who\u2019s Who (1983) and later other anthems like Tough Shit Mikey, Berkshire Cunt and Slaughter of Innocence (for which Steve Ignorant joined up with you)?<\/p>\n

    –<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Being inclusive in Anarcho-Punk<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Palang: Standing for activism, in a form which maintains spaces of tolerance while being clear cut about messages, seems to be part of the anarcho punk movement. How do you deal with the fact that clear messages unavoidably border on sides, nevertheless, where practical ignorance or carelessness about issues are something that make up societal normalcies, in general. How can we deal with the fact that people can be positive about stuff yet still hardly change anything in their practical daily lives?<\/p>\n

      –<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. What about friends\/fellow activists, etc. that go along theoretically but not practically<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Palang: The big pillars within the Animal Rights movement: Antivivisection, Antihunt\/Hunt Sabbing, Veganism with all the Farm Animal issues and just all aspects of instrumentalization of nonhuman Animals \u2013 with these issues that drive the Animal Rights movement (on the global and on the local levels), what can we do these days \u2013 coming from an angle of being as critical of society and system as possible<\/em>, with a strong culture of protest which questions power and hierarchies in a fundamental way \u2013 how can we prevent our messages from being watered down? Basically everybody considers themselves to be part of some resistance branch in society these days. And everyone praises anarcho punk for being so clear cut about Animal Rights and for being the only movement in terms of music and subculture that outstandingly made Animal Issues a visible issue of an encompassing progressiveness in terms of justice and ethics, yet it seems that people take this part of Animal Rights history for granted. Many people consider themselves to be \u201cinformed enough\u201d and stop at that point. People who embrace Animal Rights as part of \u201cthe topics they should cover\u201d oftentimes exclude Animal Rights on a personal daily \u201croutine\u201d of protest, like you get people who have thrived on the Anarcho Punk history and subculture but fully exclude practical ethical concern towards Animal issues while believing they also stand for this<\/em> part of Anarcho Punk. How can we make the connection between causes clearer for people to become more decided themselves, when they basically are open to Animal Rights?<\/p>\n

        –<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Avoiding the cultural industrial complex with a self-run independent label: taking the credible path<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Palang: Evading consumerism, evading the music (charts crap) market and the cultural industrial complex was a core part of the idea of resistance, to many things I suppose. People created independent labels, like you with Mortarhate (1983), and thereby showed that it was possible to communicate other messages and content and create other important spaces of communication even therewith. In a parallel contrasting manner we had bands \u2013 going along with ideas, that one would make punk accessible \u201cto the masses\u201d and that one would undermine the typical music industry (like mainstreaming punk) \u2013 which more or less straight forwardly produced punk content that was integrable<\/em> with the mainstream. In Germany for instance today the mainstreamed punk is in fact the \u201ckind of punk\u201d that people consider to be the golden standard for being outspoken and even revolutionary in a sense. In the US, as a big \u201cmarket\u201d the map looks different again, but overall we seem to have virtually a division here: a branch of punk that contained and contains the message of anticonsumerism etc. etc. and another branch that does not consider the critique of the markets even as a point to really discuss it seems. What shall we make of this difference, especially these days with a huge to trend towards leftist thought? I believe consistency matters, but this really seems to be an overlooked thing in Punk. What do you think about this divide in approach?<\/p>\n

          –<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. The minority change question and its hardships<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Palang: The crossroads of political life that we face these days, again coming from an anarchist standpoint, facing the consequences of the anthropocene and being just an individual, being just a few, being just a perhaps suppressed political and\/or social minority and standing against all those factors where we are not able to activate any levers to stop the damages done, yet again everything depends on each one to act up, to boycott, to create change, etc., to not be part of the problem. How can we keep a sensible form of resistance<\/em> feasable, without having everything swallowed up by people who create questionable levers and who therewith inadvertently disable action from \u201cbottom up\u201d. How can we say our way to go about things makes sense, even when we look powerless in contrast to this and that?<\/p>\n

            –<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. The rare alarmed, upset language, that names things as how they are<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Palang: Speaking small band projects internationally: Specific examples of Hardcore and Vegan Straight Edge with their relation to the outspokenness of anarcho punk as including Animal Rights \u2013 without the basis which political Musician-Activists like you created and the consistency, we wouldn\u2019t be as far as we are today. The political live of protest made up of solid pillars of content is here, but the power and support coming from this will probably be suppressed or watered down by the mainstream once they fully digest anarcho punk history. With this message in music being scattered, and Animal Rights needing to be appropriately expressed and evidently only these kinds of expression and languages are able to do it, do you think that independent political music that conveys Animal Rights with the impetus of resistance toward society<\/em> can survive after mainstream society finds out that this type of resistance and critique is culturally indigestible in a speciesist world?<\/p>\n

              Thank you so much for all that you do!<\/p>\n

              \nEine obskure, gemordete Substanz auf deren Etikett FLEISCH steht,
              \nHinter falschen Bezeichnungen wie Schwein, Schinken, Kalb und Rind,
              \nEin Auge ist ein Auge, ein Leben ein Leben, ein nun vergessenes Wissen,

              \nKaninchen rennen um ihr Leben, Rehe gehen hinter den B\u00e4umen in Deckung
              \nDie Mutter seufzt ungl\u00e4ubig, dann bereitet sie das Fleisch zu<\/p>\n

              Denkt dar\u00fcber nach, was ihr tut. Das System ist darauf ausgerichtet, alles zu zerst\u00f6ren
              \nDas Leben, nicht den Profit. Wir m\u00fcssen das verdammt nochmal beenden<\/p>\n

              Denn schon bald wird es kein Leben mehr geben
              \nNicht ein Wesen auf dem Land oder im Meer, ein Vogel im Himmel
              \nSie werden erschossen, harpuniert, gegessen und zur Vernichtung gejagt
              \nAusgel\u00f6scht von den intelligenten Menschen, die stets beweisen, dass es so etwas
              \nwie eine gerechte Welt, mit leben und leben lassen, nicht gibt<\/p>\n

              Die k\u00f6nigliche Familie geht auf die Jagd, wie beispielhaft f\u00fcr das Volk
              \nDas Volk, das sie f\u00fchren, und zu diesem geh\u00f6re ich nicht
              \nIch habe genug Schmerz und Folter derer gesehen, die keine Stimme haben<\/p>\n

              Also werde ich f\u00fcr sie im Rundumschlag sprechen
              \nUnd wenn jemand versucht mich mit seiner Peitsche zu treffen, dann schlage ich verdammt nochmal zur\u00fcck<\/p>\n

              Denn ich habe genug von diesem Wahnsinn, in diesen H\u00f6llentheatern
              \nGenug davon, dass sie die F\u00fcchse bei ihren Jagden erlegen
              \nVon Robbenbabys, die gekn\u00fcppelt werden, w\u00e4hrend man ihre M\u00fctter zerst\u00fcckelt<\/p>\n

              Sie befriedigen ihre Gier und ihr Reichtum ist auf Blut errichtet
              \nIhr Schlachthaus spukt in den Hinterk\u00f6pfen
              \nEs ist die Gaskammer in der Landwirtschaft, das Ende der Fahnenstange<\/p>\n

              Es ist eine Schande um diese Maus!<\/p>\n

              Conflict \u2013 Tough Shit Mickey!<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Mother Nature smiles and cracks a new days dawn
              \nMost people on the earth are sleeping comfortably and warm
              \nOut in the fields and pastures, it\u2019s another new day too
              \nOne without the war and hatred that is known by me and you
              \nA shriek disturbs the peacefulness; the cat\u2019s just killed a mouse
              \nThe mother says with feeling as she looks out from the house
              \nIt\u2019s breakfast time, the clock strikes nine, ham, bacon, one egg or two?
              \nWhat a shame about that mouse, what\u2019s for tea tonight, lamb stew?<\/p>\n

              Well, there\u2019s things to do, so the family divides in separate ways
              \nFather works to earn the keep, he\u2019s a butcher and well paid
              \nThe daughters go to riding school mother washes up the crap
              \nOne son plays with soldiers; the other aggravates the cat
              \nBack out in the fields, a different story\u2019s taking place
              \nFoxes cower with their cubs to escape the human race
              \nRabbits run for life, deer take cover in the trees
              \nThe mother sighs with disbelief, then prepares the meat<\/p>\n

              Think what you\u2019re doing the systems set to ruin
              \nThe life not the profit we\u2019ve got to fucking stop it<\/p>\n

              Because before too long there will nothing left alive
              \nNot a creature on the land or sea, a bird in the sky
              \nThey\u2019ll be shot, harpooned, eaten and hunted too much
              \nVivisected by the clever men who prove that there\u2019s no such
              \nThing as a fair world with live and let live
              \nThe royal family go hunting what an example to give
              \nTo the people they lead and that don\u2019t include me
              \nI\u2019ve seen enough pain and torture of those who can\u2019t speak
              \nSo I\u2019m gonna speak for them in an all out attack
              \nAnd if someone tries to whip me, then I will fucking whip them back
              \nBecause I have had enough of this madness in those theatres of hell
              \nEnough of them hounding the fox to the kill
              \nOf baby seals being clubbed, their mothers cut up
              \nThey satisfy their greed, their wealth\u2019s built on blood
              \nOf their slaughterhouse haunting the back of the mind
              \nThe gas chamber of the farm life, the end of the line<\/p>\n

              It\u2019s a shame about that mouse!<\/p>\n
