No Side claim they are from Osaka, Japan, but I believe they've come from another planet to show us how truly great hardcore is supposed to be done. They draw inspiration from the best of sources: early-DC, Black Flag, Poison Idea, etc, churn it all up and spit it back out in a way that only the Japanese seem to be able to do. Even by the high standards that hardcore from that part of the world has come to demand, this band is still head and shoulders above the crowd. Unfortunately they have broken up.  The singer and guitarist went on to form Technocracy, the drummer Jellyroll Rockheads, and the bassist Midnight Resurrector.
