NOTHING DONE – EVERYBODY KNOWS CD (NJW021)
Their second full length, a pretty impressive follow up to their previous full length ‘Powertrip’, from Holland’s Nothing Done. Progression is a good word when it comes to these guys. No they haven’t changed all that much, but they have just got tighter and have crafted a bunch of high adrenalin soaked hardcore tunes, full of melody, power and speed when it’s needed. 10 beauties of sweat drenched songs where they give a nod to influences such as the straight ahead power of Negative Approach and early Black Flag, essential tuneful elements of Circle Jerks and Minor Threat. Plus quirky riffage, in small doses, ala Minutemen and Victims Family, but I don’t really need any references to dig this release – more just a pointer for those reading this. Every song is tight, catchy and a big plus in my book – memorable. Top notch hardcore, how I like it and I’m glad Nothing Done have proved to me that the art of song writing in hardcore bands is definitely not dead. Listening to their song ‘Cardiac Arrest’ makes me feel like they are having one. Their lyrics are straight forward, but in an open personal way. All I can say is that Nothing Done are definitely one of the most exciting bands going these days. The CD version has a complete video of their gig, from Manchester 6/4/06. The vinyl is pressed on light blue vinyl.
