Class War

Tony Kinman wrote "Class War", according to LAist, and it is about class warfare and police brutality. Chip Kinman sang and played guitar, Tony sang lead and played bass, and Pat Garrett played drums. Tony told Perfect Sound Forever the aim was a punk rock revolution rather than a political one, and that he had been a Communist for about eighteen months. The Dils were known for radical left politics, and Tony explained the single-a-time approach by saying they put out the two best current songs.

It is the song they played most: setlist.fm lists 51 Dils setlists and "Class War" appears in 11 of them, ahead of "It's Not Worth It" (10), "I Hate the Rich" (9) and "Mr. Big" (8). Ty Segall recorded an acoustic cover, shared on October 16, 2018 as the second single from his covers album Fudge Sandwich (In the Red, October 26, 2018); Chip Kinman said Segall answers questions that Tony and I never even thought to ask. D.O.A. also covered it. We found no chart entry, video or sample, and did not check which version our upload carries; it is probably the 1977 single.
