Noname, The
Best Of 2001-2021
Best of...double LP of the Chinese Oi! combo, presented by SMITH & MILLER RECORDS! THE NONAME combine their Oi! with UK'82 PunkCore, like to practice the harder variant in the streetmusic sector. The songs on their anniversary album are mainly uptempo, sounding like slowed down AGNOSTIC FRONT ("Gotta go"-phase) meets THE PARTISANS or like studs-filled CASUALTIES/TOTAL CHAOS style. In between again and again rousing singalongs and thus clearly THE CLASH/RANCID (including dominant bass line) parallels. This variety already results from the arrangement: The 20 songs come from the CD-only fund of the "Kungfu Punx" from Xi'an, partly look back on a 20-year history. Mostly sung in English, but there are still some pleasant Cantonese lyrics as well
