MUS200 THE COMES – No Side LP Official reissue of seminal Japanese Hardcore band THE COMES debut. Originally released in 1983 on Dogma Records, a newly created City Rocker’s side label to release Hardcore/ Hard punk) No Side remains a milestone of first wave Japanese Hardcore. A vital document to understand the days when the Tokyo Hardcore scene was small and unknown with G.I.S.M., EXECUTE, GAUZE and THE COMES as main runners. Bands who shared stages, record labels and who grew to be one of the most varied, influential and enigmatic punk scenes of the planet. THE COMES music is frantic and sharp punk, bass driven and manic sounding with vocalist Chitose aggressive vocals punctuating every syllable and dominating the tunes. Like most first wave Hardcore acts they own their own sound and albeit many times imitated it has never been matched. No Side reissue comes in a heavy paste on board textured sleeve and includes a replica lyric insert.
Includes unlimited streaming of No Side
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Clearly one of the best albums ever released. This is as real as it gets. Far beyond good and evil. Among my top five ever. For those about to destroy I salute you! Fuzz-Kristiansen
Starting off sludgy with 'Genesis' the pace ramps right up towards the last half of the album. Nasty, noisy, gloomy and angry - in the best way possible. elatedsquash
