No Problem "Your Eyes" ep

NO PROBLEM are one of the newer bands to come out of Edmonton. Although they are new the band is made up of members who have all done time in previous bands. The singer Graeme was the singer for WEDNESDAY NIGHT HEROES. The bass player, Matt is from LET’S DANCE. The other two guys were in HIGH JINKS and THRASHTIC FIBROSIS. These are all great bands in my ears. Instead of playing the high energy melodic hardcore that we are used to hearing from WNH or LET’S DANCE, NO PROBLEM has opted for a more punk sound in the vein of the REGULATIONS. The REGULATIONS set up to do some roots soul searching with the first wave of the punk scene. That’s what NO PROBLEM sounds like. Just some crushing 3 chord repetition with barked out lyrics. Punk anthems. I will be listening to this for a long time. These guys are onto something. The songs on here are:

1. Debts

2. Something Outta Nothing

3. Gimme Reasons

4. Your Eyes
