the ex-the sky is blue again

the ex-the sky is blue again(amsterdam 1981)

The Ex is an anarchist band from the Netherlands. They formed in 1979 at the height of the original punk explosion and have released more than twenty full length albums since.

The band's music has undergone significant evolution over the years, beginning as a simple lo-fi anarcho-punk band. They debuted with a single titled "Stupid Americans" on the Utregpunx vinyl 7" compilation released by Rock Against records in Rotterdam. The release of their first 7" All Corpses Smell the Same came shortly thereafter in 1980. Through the decades they gradually developed into their current form of highly intricate, experimental punk/post-punk/no wave-inspired work. (wikipedia)

Is there someone that know what the symbol in the rear (with the 2 hammers) means?

I know one meaning for that sign...just hope i'm wrong...

Yes absolutely. You are right. That's one of my all time absolute favourite songs. I had a tape with the EX on it from a friend's ex-friend (whom I didn't know), and never knew the bands name (she also didn't). Now with the internet I finally found them by typing in fragments of the lyrics. Yes I mispelled myself: it's a sense of tumour! They are a fascinating band. Highly inspiring to me in my life, although it took me song long to find out about their identity. I love them!

[MutanteLaser]

someone can give me the lyrics to this?

[groblak]

U mean "Sense of Tumor"...

[veganswines]

brilliant!!! thanks for posting this nice track and video by the ex. I love their song "a sense of humour"

[cockeyedcamel]

relax, they are just a couple of hammers. hammers are for building things. i believe in there context they are symbols standing for mutual aid, cooperation, workers rights and anarchism. not fascist symbols. not the hammer and sickle. no need to ring the alarm.
