Most people only know them from that one single that got popular back in the day. They’ve never been a pop band though. They’re actually an anarchist art collective that’s been around since the early '80s. The podcast Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff did two episodes on them. It’s worth a listen. They’re much cooler than you think they are.
No problem. They’re one of those bands whose sound changes a lot over their career, and you wouldn’t necessarily infer their beginnings from their later stuff, but if you go back and listen to their early albums like Ballots, or Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records, their punk cred is a lot more obvious.

I cede to all accusations of being biased towards folk punk
Thank you. I’m in a very anti-fascist mood and this is what I need.
Might I introduce you to The Muslims - Fuck These Fuckin Fascists
Propagandhi - The Only Good Fascist Is a Very Dead Fascist
Fuck yeah. Thanks!
You’re welcome. Rock on!

The inclusion of Chumbawumba is scrambling my brain. Explain please.

Woah, crazy. So I should start listening to their other stuff besides that one song?
Definitely
Highly recommend Wingnut Dishwashers Union.
