JST-040 No On 15 - Meet the Lads - Digital Download
The last recordings of the infamous PA punk rock party animals. No On 15 were a pop-punk band with a three piece horn section whose exploits both on and off the stage far proceeded them. Known for their out of control and off the wall live shows as much as their post-show party antics, No On 15 created some of the most energetic horn infused pop-punk and ska around, and their final record was the culmination of five long years of living on the road playing DIY shows, dirty basements, and shitty clubs just about anywhere they could. A staple in the Central PA scene, this band is surely missed, but luckily we have this, their final recorded effort, to enjoy. Recorded and produced by Steve Foote (Big D & the Kids Table) at Fork in Hand Studios and mixed by Jason Livermore and Bill Stevenson at The Blasting Room (Descendents, All, Black Flag). Maybe someday this record will see more than just a digital release. Who knows?
