Agit-Prop Records
Agit-Prop Records was an independent record label founded in 1985 by the members of the then-peace punk band Chumbawamba.
History
Before starting the label, Chumbawamba had distributed their records and tapes using the Sky and Trees label. As well as releasing their own recordings, Agit-Prop also put out a number of records by other groups.
Agit-Prop was run in co-op form adhering to anarchist philosophy.
Agit-Prop released its last album, Shhh, in 1992. Chumbawamba felt it was too much work to maintain a band and a label. Band member Alice Nutter adds:
Name
The term "agit prop" originates from the Soviet Union's Department for Agitation and Propaganda.
