N.O.T.A.

[lewdd]

Enlighten me about this band. I know almost nothing about them but continue to see their name pop up here and there.

Punk band from OK/Texas that released records on Unclean (also released early Rhythm Pigs/Dead Silence etc) and Rabid Cat (also released Offenders & Scratch Acid) labels. They released two 7" and then a full length, then have a bunch of random line ups.

This is their first 7"



and the second 7"



I've heard people compared them to Zero Boys, but I think they just meant a punk band that played various types of punk and did it well.

I don't know what their later releases sounded like

Texas? Tulsa. I likes me some None Of The Above.

Oof. I meant from OK, record labels were Texas (I don't own anything after first LP and 2 7" though).

Welly you should get all yr Artcore scene reports and put it out together as it really is a crash course in punk rock that I'm not sure is captured anywhere else. Kill From The Heart website used to be something like it, but I'm not aware of one now.

It's a shame that Kill from the Heart site is dead.

Great, great site - you can sort of still access it through the Wayback Machine - but some of the functionality is gone & he removed all the record reviews (at least the MRR ones) before the site got shut down.

I have the Live at the Crystal Pistol LP that Prank put out a bunch of years ago - it's hasn't come off the shelf in a long time, though.

Drummer had a weak/cheating right hand, but they were killer.

The first 2 eps, especially.

S/T LP was good, but production was a little slick.

I still listen to them regularly. I wonder if Lewdd ever managed to research 'Propaganda Control'. Prolly not. He hates maximum hardcore punk and thrash.

And the s/t LP is a classic.
