(U.S.) No Escape-Selective Punches: A Collection Of Ballads And Battle Hymns EP (2021)

Country: USA
Genre: Hardcore, Punk, Metal
Label: Hellminded Records
Tracks: 6
Length: 19.10'

Featuring Tim Singer, Deadguy and Kiss it Goodbye, along with Steven Crudello of Turning Point, seminal NJHC band No Escape return after a 27 year hiatus with six crushing new tracks that feature their unmistakable brand of classic metal-tinged hardcore which was recorded and mixed by Arik Victor at Creep Records and Mastered by heavy music maestro, Alan Douches at West West Side Music. As one of the most influential bands at the forefront of the burgeoning Metalcore scene in the late 1980’s, No Escape has widely been considered one of the earliest architects of the Metalcore genre. Their 1990 demo and subsequent split 7" with Turning Point on Temperance Records are still revered as two of the most recognizable releases of the era and sound as menacing and current now as they did almost 30 years ago. In 1993, the band released their only LP, Just Accept It, and it would be the last we saw of them as members went on to form such bands as Deadguy, Seven Gone, and Kiss It Goodbye. Until now...
