NO BUSINESS

 



The Bay Area isn't big, but there are micro scenes that rival the micro climates, even (especially) in the punk realm. I knew Jonny was in NO BUSINESS after DIE HARD and they ran concurrent with FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS, but I don't remember seeing them live. I wish I had. The Bay Area in the mid-teens was teeming with killer hardcore, and I suspect that NO BUSINESS might have seemed a bit more....rock?....at the time, but I also suspect that Nicole's vocals would have blown people the fukk away in a live setting. Parts remind me of SMUT (the Minneapolis SMUT), but ultimately it's just a really damn good recording of some really fukkn good songs. Better late than never - and a decade after the fact I'm all in.
