While the 1980s saw a burgeoning New York hardcore scene, something else was just starting to come to fruition, something that would forever change the landscape of crust punk and thrash as we in the states knew it. That something is a band by the name of Nausea. Having an impact like they did, and still do, is not an easy thing to accomplish, but Nausea stood for something. Completely anti-racist, ant-sexist, and anarchist to the very core, they stood out among that New York scene.
Entertain the masses, with music video shit / It’s used to serve purposes, not 'playing all the hits' / One, it makes you passive and desensitized / Two, it teaches to consume and it tells you what to buy / Fills your head with concepts, of how to dress and how to act / Does the video sell the music, or does the music sell the crap?If more bands had the awareness and ability to put that to music that Nausea did, the musical landscape would look far better than it currently does. Lyrics aren’t the only thing the band does well, however, as I mentioned earlier, their dual vocal attack works to perfection, as both are able to spit such venom with their words that nobody would ever question a thing. And it’s those words that come through a sea of heavy distortion and guitar squalls. “Divide & Conquer” is an instrumental track that will no doubt show just what this band is capable of, with its tight, jarring rhythms and great, but not extravagant guitar solos, all the while the drummer holds down everything, never missing a beat. As if some of the old favorites weren’t enough reason to check this album out, the demos and live tracks are spectacular as well. Listening to the live version of “World of Tomorrow” gives you great perspective as to how great and how intense they sounded live, and who can complain with covers of Subhumans and Omega Tribe. As soon as you’re done reading this, pick this album up, and Anthology, Volume 1 while you’re at it. While that collection was a bit better than this one, the sheer amount of tracks, be they studio, live, or demos, should be enough to entice die-hard fans and newcomers alike. Not to be missed.

To set the record straight Roger and Amy were never married. After watching medics rescue demonstrators during a riot in Berlin Amy left Nausea (and Roger) to study medicine. She now practices emergency medicine at a trauma center. Not sure what happened to their daughter. what are the former members of nausea doing today??? when did roger and amy divorce and how ols is their daughter? ""I guess that makes ONE relevant band to come out of New York since 1980." Kylesas' version of "Clutches" kills....an amazing band covering an amazing band. Hahahahaha crust ahahahahahaha. Kylesa is a great new band to check out if you're into Nausea. "Completely anti-racist, ant-sexist"...as opposed to all of those bands out there that are only partially anti-racist, ant-sexist. Fucking punk rock hyperbole. "I guess that makes ONE relevant band to come out of New York since 1980." I forgot they were from NY. I guess that makes ONE relevant band to come out of New York since 1980. "... and I keep reading that Roger Miret and Amy are married, but that just does not compute in my head. Maybe they're related or something, though." Yeah a lot of the fans of Sick Of It All or Agnostic Front are conservative-jock types but the bands themselves would support Nausea. Sick Of It All is pretty left-wing and Agnostic Front has always been sorta anti-establishment, anti-war and currently anti-bush (if you've read any current interviews with Roger Miret) -- now back in the 80s, AF was probably a little more conservative I saw those screenprinted records when they came out, but I was totally turned off by this when they were still in stock. Anchors, don't try to "front." I think you honestly thought of Subhumans as a street punk band because the description described them as from the 80's UK... Which is okay, and it's cool that you've learned better now, but don't pretend you weren't stupid for that specific comment or whatever. Anybody else got the Limited Edition Silk Screned Nausea Punk Terriost Anthology off Interpunk.... It's limited to 200 and I got 144, anyways i got both these, and thier worth the money.... I have a Nausea shrit with thier usuall jesus upside down on the peace sign, gets alot of looks around here. joeg: word. I always wondered whether the tough guy NYHC bands/fans of the mid/late 80's liked Nausea. Anchors, don't try to "front." I think you honestly thought of Subhumans as a street punk band because the description described them as from the 80's UK... Which is okay, and it's cool that you've learned better now, but don't pretend you weren't stupid for that specific comment or whatever. Has anyone heard the Kylesa cover of "Clutches"? I am listening to Nausea's version right now, but haven't heard the cover (they covered it on the "A 110 Heat Degree Index", but not on the 7" I have)....anyone? Alternative Tentacles seems to know how to get my money these days...between this and the F-Minus discography..damn One of the all time greatest Amazing record. watch out, this has the word 'terrorist' in it, government may come knocking on your door. Totally essential. I don't remember how much I like Volume 1 (which I didn't think was that good the first time around), but this album is just completely great. Man, you have a hell of a memory. I've never had anything against the Subhumans, though, I just wanted to rile people up since everyone was so bummed about the news. I must have been having a shitty day or something. http://www.punknews.org/article.php?sid=10538&mode=&order=&thold = Absolutely mandatory. No Debate. I've never heard this stuff, but I'm definitely going to get on it. I've seen Nausea on T-shirts forever. gotta pick this one up along with the f-minus comp. I'm biased, since I helped revamp volume 1 for it's re-release on AT (it's available as of this afternoon on our site along with volume 2). BUT... I love this fucking band. Their "Extinction" LP and the "Cybergod" 7" are 2 of the rockingest dreadlock warrior releases ever, up there with Neurosis "Word As Law." I am not a fan of the crust, but this band has more than enough punk chops and songwriting ability and the female vocals- wow. Amy's voice can cut through steel. great band, but i just dont have the attention span for these hour plus compilations Great Punk Rock album. I liked vol. 2 a little more but this one still kicks ass. |
