Description
**Short sonic blasts of teen angst at breakneck velocity–Canada’s NEOS, from Victoria, BC, were pioneers of hyper-speed-punk at the dawn of hardcore. With profound lyrics, humor, bizarre arrangements, and general insanity, NEOS inspired thrash metal, grindcore, noisecore, and hardcore punk itself. The complete NEOS collection (1981–83) includes both rare EPs, outtakes, demos, and live cuts. 51 songs in 48 minutes from original sources, meticulously remastered. Packaged with a 24-pg booklet with 22,000-word bio by Steve Bailey (guitar/vocals), plus lyrics, 75+ photos, posters, art and more. Pressed on opaque bright orange vinyl.
“Possibly the fastest thrash garage punk ever recorded”—Jeff Bale, MRR #1, 1982
