No Means No - Wrong
Bad Brains - Rock For Light
I love old punk so those might mean little. Some history - Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat) says he coined the term "hardcore" to separate the then-new musical style. DOA was first to use & write it on a record with their great LP "Hardcore 81." AOD reunited in 22 & played twice & will play more in 24. I was & will be there. I know it's usually written Nomeansno or NoMeansNo but I often separate the words for clarity. Some of the most creative/talented/complex hardcore ever?
