One Inch Punch / Mid Youth Crisis

Everytime I read reviews or comments about this band, I am surprised to see how much people have respect for them. Many people say they are one of the best punk/hardcore band ever... One thing is sure, amongst all the Australian bands, MYC/One Inch Punch is definitely one of those that defined 90's punk scene. Now for some bio.. Everything started in Melbourne in 1993 under the name Downfall. After releasing a small demotape in 1994, they change their name the same year to One Inch Punch and will keep it until 1997 when they are again forced to change their name due to conflict with another band from Europe. So, they change for Mid Youth Crisis, and will release some stuff and play tons of shows before calling it a day in 1998. In 2002, they will reform to play two shows at the Arthouse, and one of them will be recorded and released the year after. They will again reform in 2004 for a couple of shows. If you like them, you may want to search on youtube, you'll find many videos by them.

No Thanx To Paul

No Thanx To Paul was a fast and technical melodic punk band from Tujunga, California. They started in the summer of 1998 from the ashes of the hardcore band Easter Rebellion. After a lot of research to find a good bassist, they are finally complete and record a small 4-song demo which is sold at their shows. They gain popularity rapidly and they plan to release a full lenght CD, a project that will be completed in 2001. In 2002, they decide to stop, but not long after they start again under the name Sunset Fiction, with a new member and some new musical influences which will leave No Thanx To Paul in the past.
