They advocated a DIY punk ethic approach, producing sound collages, graphics, albums and films. Meanwhile, they also criticized mainstream culture and attempted to subvert it with messages promoting anarchism, feminism, anti-racism, anti-fascism, anti-capitalism, anti-war, and anti-globalisation The band also expressed its ideals by dressing in black, military surplus-style clothing, and using a stage backdrop which amalgamated several "icons of authority" including the Christian Cross, the swastika, the Union Flag, and an Ouroboros.
