Negative Approach is an American hardcore punk band, formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1981. The band is considered among of the pioneers of hardcore punk, particularly in the Midwest region. Like most hardcore bands, Negative Approach was little known in its day outside of its hometown. It is now idolized in the Detroit rock underground and the punk subculture, considered to be one of the elite bands of the “old school” era, and continues to be influential

LOWER CLASS BRATS have been pounding out their own brand of Clockwork Punk they have released a fuck-load of recordings including appearances on several compilations, live DVD’s and soundtracks in two different films (nudge, nudge- wink, wink). In the past decade the BRATS have toured the globe. Mexico, Germany, North America, Canada, England, Japan, France and many, many other countries have witnessed the boys in action. And the LOWER CLASS BRATS don’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. From their first gig over thirteen years ago, to this day…L.C.B. always steals the show.

Hailing from Tacoma, Washington, NOi!SE is one of the flag bearers one of the new wave of Oi!. True to its name, NOi!SE’s boundless energy along with its unyielding message has allowed the band to build a feverish and devoted fanbase.

True to form, the band’s new full-length “The Real Enemy” is undoubtedly going to be hailed as a timeless (musical) social commentary. Its raucous sound, some equally profound lyrics, and a really spectacular and fitting layout, highlights what NOi!SE is all about. Complete with riveting drums, insane bass lines, great leads, and a true verbal assault, this album reinforces that these guys really have something important to say, and a unique and powerful way to deliver it!

Bringing in some friends to help with the barrage, the story gets even more colorful; with additional vocals on “SPD” by Gordy Carbone (THE FORGOTTEN), on “The War Inside” by THE INTERRUPTERS, and on the title track, “The Real Enemy”, by Al Barr (DROPKICK MURPHYS/THE BRUISERS). With so many voices helping NOi!SE sing and scream this new installment of their passionate manifesto, “The Real Enemy” is bound to make waves, and turn heads.

While touring full-time is pretty much off the table due to family obligations and Matt Henson’s role in the US Army, NOi!SE is certainly planning to back up this record with as many live shows, in as many places, as possible. Requests have been coming in droves. Plans to attack both US coasts, as well as Europe are coming together, and likely to surround the release, and flow well into 2017. Anyone who’s seen them live knows that this is reason enough to get excited – but just wait ’til you hear the record!!
