Review from Jacky(FRAMTID) :
WHAT DOES PUNK MEAN TO YOU?

『貴方にとってPUNKとは何ですか？』

今の時代、答えは様々に違いないがまず最初に出てくるのはPUNKとは反逆の音楽、というものだろう。
しかしどれだけ反逆しても私たちはこの世の中の歯車に巻かれて日々生きていかなけばならない。
そこには反逆もクソもなくてただ我慢して、時には妥協して、燻る気持ちをあの手この手で誤魔化して切り抜けていくしかないだろう。
しかしそうした日常は実はとんでもない矛盾と犠牲を公然と踏み躙りながら成り立っている、としたらどうだろう、私たちはそれに対してどう向き合うだろう？

NŌは2018年にSHINTARAW、MASUMI、そして、ex-C.F.D.L~RESULTを経て暫く沈黙を保っていたVo:TAKESHI氏により結成された。

現行メンバーは
TAKESHI : Vo
MASUMI : Guitar (DISGUST)
SHINTARAW : Guitar (REALITY CRISIS)
YOSHIHIRO : Bass (ex-STRIKE OUT)
AICHI : Drums (ex-REALITY CRISIS)

の5人組。

愛知ハードコア・シーンの錚々たる面子が結集したそのサウンドは80's~90's 欧米ANARCHO PUNKとCRUSTをベースにしつつ、今日平然と放置されっ放しでいるこの世の問題点をPUNKという武器をもって攻撃する全6曲！

しかし、NŌは決して特殊なPUNK BANDではない。おわかりだろうか？この意味が？

そして私たちが踏み躙っている矛盾と犠牲は実は目の前に、私達の隣に存在する。
ただ私達はそれを何かと理由をつけて認めようとぜず、あるいは見なかったフリをしているだけだ。

WHY?

Review from Jacky(FRAMTID) :
What does Punk mean to you?

In this day and age, the answer must be many things, but the first thing that comes to mind is that PUNK is the music of rebellion.
However, no matter how much we rebel, we have to live day by day, being swept up in the wheels of this world.
There is no such thing as rebellion, and we just have to put up with it, compromise at times, and get through it by using all kinds of tricks to cover up our smoldering feelings.
But what if these everyday lives are actually built on openly trampling on contradictions and sacrifices, and how do we deal with that?

NŌ was formed in 2018 by SHINTARAW, MASUMI, and the Vo: TAKESHI, who had remained silent for a while after ex-C.F.D.L~RESULT.

The current members are
TAKESHI : Vo
MASUMI : Guitar (DISGUST)
SHINTARAW : Guitar (REALITY CRISIS)
YOSHIHIRO : Bass (ex-STRIKE OUT)
AICHI : Drums (ex-REALITY CRISIS)

A five-piece band.

The sound is based on 80's~90's Western ANARCHO PUNK and CRUST, and attacks the problems in this world that are left unattended today with the weapon of PUNK.

However, NŌ is by no means a special PUNK BAND. Do you understand? What does this mean?

And the contradictions and sacrifices we are trampling on are actually right in front of us, right next to us.
We just refuse to acknowledge it for one reason or another, or we pretend we don't see it.

WHY?
