No Trend – ‘Too Many Humans…’/’Teen Love’ (Drag City)

Posted by | May 26, 2020 | ,

“Dear God, please make it stop!” pleads John B as we force him to listen to the new re-releases from Maryland anti-punks No Trend. Now, JB doesn’t want to shit on this too much as he thinks there are probably people who would like this, but as far as he knows he doesn’t know them.

Despite the current lockdown, we are still receiving a healthy bundle of submissions for our coveted ‘Video Of The Week’ title.

This week’s selection once again sees a balance of these two approaches….
