Nausea = New York City Hardcore (NYHC). In the 80’s & early 90’s was much more than Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags & Sick Of It All. There was also bands like Nausea - a deadly dose of Discharge & Crass but with a lot of their own ideas – both musically & politically. Great male & female vocals, catchy riffs, raw but totally spirited feeling.

((((1)))) Raw, mid-paced Discharge beat/sound.
((((2)))) Great song but *sigh*…TOO MANY FCCS! AVOID!
(((((3))))) Killer, fist-smashin’ Crass/Subhumans (UK) styled.
(((((4))))) Bassy, pissed off, killer vocals & drumming.
((((5)))) Nice but instrumental of on this riffy, anthemic classic.
((((6)))) More punk and h.c. together, another instrumental
(((((7))))) G.B.H./Discharge sounding attack with a reggae breakdown (!?!) – hey it works!
(((((8)))) Ripping fast & wailing instrumental.
((((9)))) Slightly different mix of track # 1, with a guitar break & more bass.
((((10))))) Great vox, great “piss off MTV” tune (FCC “fuck” sung twice)
(((((11))))) Raw, confrontational female vox, awesome drums & guitar break.
(((((12))))) HOLY CRAP! Perfect merger of punk & metal without either “crossover” or “metalcore”.
((((13)))) Really rockin’ instrumental with “Clutches” like breakdown.
(((((14))))) More d-beating & whammy bar wailin’ instrumental punk-metal. Hell yeah!
((((15)))) Raw as hell demo, almost sounds live.
((((16)))) Cover of The Business, I dunno the original but this is pretty nice (though redundant as hell) OI!/punk.
((((17)))) A shitload of bass fuzz with a irresistible Venom/Discharge sound.
((((18)))) Dirty Oi!/punk with thudding bass/drums.
(((19))) More dirty Oi! With even fuzzier bass, this quality sounds pretty crappy though & should’ve been nixed.
((((20)))) Late ’79-’82 era Oi with bit o’ crust.
(((((21))))) Total Discharge worship about 10-15 years before it was trendy. (FCC “bullshit”)
((((22)))) Much slower & hazy than the Kylesa version you might know. Still really nice & anthemic.
((((23)))) Yet another instrumental as hard as a bulldog’s bite.
((((24)))) Slowish anarcho-punk, cover of NYC band Omega Tribe. Great vocals.
((((25)))) Slow, doomy crust ‘ala Amebix
((((((26))))) Fuckin’ spot on cover of the Subhumans (UK) classic.
((((27))) TOO MANY FCCs!-AVOID!
((((28)))) Live version of the Blitz cover.
(((((29))))) Damn! What a riff. Cal from Discharge would kill for this!
((((30)))) Amazing guitars & vocals. (FCC “fuck”)
