No Comply: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:08, 22 December 2005

"No Canplay" said some.... after hearing the record in 2005, I say "Shit, fucking awesome. It's what all of today's thrashy-hardcore bands wish they were."

During the early 1990s the Louisville punk and hardcore scene was thriving. The atmosphere gave birth to Slint, Undermine, Dybbuk, Ennui, Kinghorse and countless other local treasures. No Comply was among many of the lesser-know, relatively shortlived contributors to the scene during those days. This Louisville band loosely formed with duPont Manual high classmates in early 1991 with Josh Werber (vox, drums), Andrew Underwood (bass), and Justin Willis (guitar). The band officially launched in late 1991 with the addition of Samantha Axton (drums). No Comply played several Louisville venues including coffee houses, Tewligan's, and private parties. Their live shows often combined billings with the band, Cinderblock. No Comply partnered with Ben Jones, owner of Better Days Records, in the summer of 1992 and recorded their 7-inch album containing five songs which included the adenaline rushing, stamina-building, crowd-pleasing track "This Hurts." A prolific creator of original, short, tight, simple tracks, No Comply also was known at the time for a hardcore version of a cover song, The Cars' "Just What I Needed." The band disolved during 1993. Underwood and Willis joined forces to create the short-lived and mellow Jupiter Rising. Axton continued to dabble in the field and is a singer and songwriter who has released tracks on Chicago's hip hop Birthwrite label.
