NO FUN AT ALL - Vision

Artist:  No Fun At All
Album: Vision
Year:  1993
Genre:  Melodic Hardcore

As their career progressed, No Fun At All were thought of as the Swedish Bad Religion.  There are much worse things to be called.  Yet, the tag was fairly well-deserved as NFAA continued morphing into more-and-more polished, melodious territory while maintaining their 4-chord, breakneck delivery; much like the Southern California godfathers of melodic hardcore.  Yet, when NFAA started, they were a raw, 3-piece skate punk infused hardcore band.  Vison is an 9-song EP containing abundant amounts of speed, youthful spirit and pile-on-your-friends sing-a-longs.  The band flies with reckless abandon during this 16 minute romp, bashing away at their instruments and audaciously screaming their hearts out.  The liveliness they captured is what all punk bands should strive for when recording. I prefer this EP over their other releases.  There’s just something so unrestrained and sincere about it that it always feels exciting and new any time it’s blasting through my speakers.

Listen to "Where's The Truth" here.
