(review) NOFNOG – Insomnia ( Sbäm Records)

Brothers and sisters at  Sbäm Records never cease to amaze with superb releases coming our way almost on monthly basis. I must also admit that I have heard of NOFNOG prior to this record, but never really listened to their music, so thankful to  Sbäm and this new opus, I am able to enjoy in this band and also able to listen their previous releases. NOFNOG are coming from Switzerland and have been in the scene for almost twenty years. This new opus contains twelve songs to make your hardcore heart fluffy with joy. NOFNOG play melodic hardcore with some skate punk touches here and there, throw in great, smartly written political lyrics with great street punk vibe and you get an awesome band. What I also enjoyed is vocals that are rough and almost shouted in hardcore way, but also melodic, reminding me at time of Trevor from now late, great American Werewolves in some songs. Songs like Memento Mori, Drunk Of Life, Insomnia and Go On are sure to become crowd favorites at gigs, moshing singing along and old school finger pointing. This one is a keeper and I am sorry that I didn´t listen to NOFNOG before all these years that I and them are active in the scene. But, better late than never, eh?
