Capsule’s Home of Metal and Bradford 2025 presented an all-day celebration of resistance and cooperation in honour of the city’s anarchist social centre: the 1 in 12 Club.

About the day

Home of Metal took over Loading Bay, Bradford 2025’s pop-up venue in the heart of the city, for an all-dayer celebrating the 1 in 12 Club, Bradford’s long-standing anarchist social centre. Everything for Everyone! explored and celebrated anarchist values of self-management, co-operation and mutual aid with live music, talks, presentations and more.

Music

Live music from:

One Leg One Eye, the powerful solo project from Ian Lynch (Lankum), fusing haunting folk traditions with immersive, experimental sound to create a bold and unforgettable sonic experience
Hang Linton, a Leeds-based musician who blends punk, noise and alternative rock to explore social issues, resistance and personal expression
Ashenspire, a Scottish collective that channels the intensity and energy of hardcore as they explore the contradictions and failures of contemporary capitalism
Commoners Choir, a singular, off-kilter force — a mass of voices blending the harmonic swell of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir with the radical politics of Crass and The Clash (recently seen performing at dawn at the Cow & Calf as part of The Bradford Progress).

In conversation

Gee Vaucher, the visionary artist and part of anarcho-punk band and collective Crass (1977-84), brought her uncompromising, politically charged aesthetic to the forefront in this rare conversation with fellow radical creative Mark Wilson (aka Mark Mob), founder of the Rockaway Park. Together, they reflected on the evolution of anarchist art, collective action and the enduring power of creative resistance.

On display

Black Lodge Press created a selection of banners in collaboration with members of the 1 in 12 Club that were hung throughout the venue.

Presentations

Key figures in contemporary anarchism and co-operative culture gave a series of short presentations:

1 in 12 Club, Bradford’s very own grassroots anarchist social centre
Black Lodge Press, Cj Reay’s print project inspired by DIY queer culture, working–class history and anarchist politics
Decolonise Fest, a volunteer-run, non-profit festival in London for punx of colour
Dog Section Press, an anti-profit publisher of seditious literature
The Lubber Fiend, a DIY music venue, radio station and community hub in Newcastle
MayDay Rooms, an archive and community space dedicated to radicalism, resistance and experimental culture
Muntjac, a Black and Asian anarchist collective that runs a publication, publishing house, print shop, blog and network
Stirchley Co–operative Development, who are building affordable and eco-friendly residential and retail premises in the West Midlands
Wharf Chambers, a Leeds bar and multi-use venue run by a workers’ co-op in partnership with a members’ club

The 1 in 12 Club Open House

On Sunday 15 of June, the 1 in 12 club delivered a free afternoon and evening of solidarity enthused fun.
