If It's Too Loud...

No Nations are a kind of Boston supergroup, with members that have been in bands like Mean Creek, Cocked N Loaded, I am become Death, Suffer on Acid, etc. The band's second single is out now, and it's one of the more unique rock songs out there right now.

The song is available as a download and a two song cassette via Bandcamp . For more on No Nations, check out the band's Facebook  and Twitter . Queso by No Nations

Guitarist Eric Wormwood says of the band's sound: “The musical vision for No Nations I think tries to fuck with alot of the stuff I loved about getting into music in the first place. There are some heavier, driving rhythms that I got from playing punk and hardcore. There is some guitar interplay that takes from early ‘9...
