NO MEANS NO Sex Mad Vinyl LP

1986. Victoria, BC. Two brothers and a guitarist walk into a studio and make one of the most technically brutal, politically charged, darkly funny records in the history of Canadian punk. Nobody was ready.

Sex Mad is the album where NoMeansNo locked in the formula that would influence every post-hardcore and art-punk band who followed: jazz-tight rhythm section, bass as lead instrument, lyrics that oscillate between absurdism and genuine menace. Rob Wright's bass tone alone is worth the price of admission. This isn't aggression for aggression's sake, it's aggression with a philosophy degree and a grudge. If you slept on NoMeansNo because they never got the mainstream press run they deserved, this is where you start. If you already know, you already know.

Vinyl LP. Standard weight black vinyl.

Fans of: Dead Kennedys, The Ex, Big Black, Victims Family, anyone who thinks punk got too comfortable in the mid-80s.
