Rock in Opposition
Initially a multi-national movement which was established by Chris Cutler in 1978, and included Henry Cow (Cutler's band), Univers Zero, Etron Fou Leloublan, Samla Mammas Manna and Stormy Six (UK, Belgium, France, Sweden and Italy respectively). The movement faught against the major labels and radio and supported uncompromising, innovative rock, which is not interfered by money. Today there is a genre called RIO which is overall more versatile, some modern RIO bands: 5uu's, Thinking Plague, Miriodor, The Muffins. I prefer Henry Cow and the rest of the initial gang, although the Plague and the 5uu's did some really nice stuff. More info at Mitkadem. Fadihot? How come?
