N.O.T.A.

none of the above, 1985 give'em enough dope, 1996 In 1984 I bought the legendary Maximum Rock'N'Roll compilation, which opened me the door on a world of unbelievable bands for which the term "classic" was especially coined - Raw Power, Rattus, Terveet Kâdet... and N.O.T.A., whose "propaganda control" is such a hardcore prototype I had it on all mix tapes to school... Aaaaaaaah, nostalgia.

N.O.T.A. on MySpace N.O.T.A. on KFTH This is unrelated, but very funny, I just came accross a "Christian hardcore" website. If you're bored and need a laugh, go read it. Fuck yeah, there is a forum too, "Where you can have candid discussions about God, music, and upcoming shows". Ah, the album reviews... sample: "I can tell you that my email conversations with the band have been really positive and that they are all in for Jesus. It shows in their music too.". Oh shit, forum intro: "Do I have to be a Christian? No, if you are here and you are not a Christian, then there is a reason that Jesus brought you here. Do I have to like Christian Hardcore, Punk, Ska and Oi? No, you can learn how Christ is using these genres of music to reach new believers I reserve the right to pull or edit any listing, revoke any posting privileges, or remove you from membership status. Let's have some good clean fun." Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............. Yeah it is not nice to poke fun at slow people, but this one looks even better than a metal forum. I think I'm going to sign-up.
