Biography

In the middle of the late-'80s hair rock jungle of Orange County, No for an Answer was making intelligent, confrontational, straight-from-the-heart hardcore punk that couldn't have been more at odds with most of the music coming out of the area at the time. Utilizing a kind of furious speed-rap hardcore style that recalls some early Bad Brains, singer Dan O'Mahoney (later of 411 and Speak 714) ranted, sometimes brilliantly, about social pressure, desperation, and isolation. The featured track, "Don't Look Away," is a fierce straight-edge manifesto, containing the band's most central message: "Acquiring a taste spells addiction to me/It's safest, it's smartest to live poison free."

    Lyrics
    Why should I join a breed
    That brings one another down?
    Group behavior, group as the savior
    A circus filled with clowns
    Who are these men? Why are they here?

    Lyrics
    A young man drinks,
    A young man drives,
    His vision blurs,
    And a young man dies,
    WITHOUT A REASON!

    Lyrics
    You laugh because it's funny.
    You laugh because it's true.
    You never really think about it, do you?
    A union for the body,
    With nothing for the mind,
    You Laugh - (1:29)  -  272 plays

    Lyrics
    I've spoken my piece, please leave me,
    Let me sleep,
    I'm not a saviour, can't be a judge,
    I will not enter one's life as such,
    Is it the burden of one who speaks his mind,

    Lyrics
    Take your place!
    A-bout face!
    Where once stood convictions in
    Things you would say,
    There now stands restrictions
