NO CHOICE


Absolutely primal early '90s straight edge from Oakland. The shit is rough as hell, uncompromising and mean, but there's something here that is far beyond just being tough. Sloppy proto-fastcore meets youth crew, and the whole thing is raw beyond belief without sacrificing power. 

I'm back in the Bay Area after an excellent tour with NO STATIK and an excellent trip with my wife that preceded it. Cheers to the Friends Of The Escape I met while I was away (including the dude in Richmond who started talking to me about tapes while I was peeing).  I added a lot of demos to my arsenal while I was gone, so the next few weeks are looking pretty bright for you internet lurkers...

Ha, right on. Just came across your year old-post. I was in No Choice (Kid-Glue). It was a "serious parody" done by two edgers and two stoners. We're actually discussing finally releasing this on vinyl after 22 years, that is if we can overcome the schism, unite the old crew and get it together to walk together and rock together...

I have a copy of this cassette that I'm willing to part with if anybody has an interest.
