I am glad this was put to CD. It
would handsomely fit on a piece of vinyl. This collection was released a few
years back but listening to it the other day urged my realization that it
needed a plug. This totally brings me back to that time period of the early
90s. Back then, most of the HC gigs always included a combination of bands No
Solution, Tread and End Result. That was a magical time of venues such as The
Axiom and The Vatican. Shows were much more violent back then, but that is a
whole other story.
These NS tracks definitely sound
dated, and for that reason they sound even more special. The vocals have quite
a bit of reverb, which was somewhat common back then. The music most definitely
fits into the description of hardcore punk. There are no metal influences, just
pure hardcore with punk rock influences.
Also during these times, not many
bands had a quality recording. It was a big deal for a group to actually have a
studio produced demo. Recording technology was not readily available to the
average person.
This DIY release features new and
exclusive artwork. Also there is a nice array of throwback photos included.
Definitely a must have as a piece of Houston
history. I am not sure of its availability these days. However on a positive
note, I have been told that some modern NS recordings are in the works. So that
is definitely something to look forward to.
