No Escape

No Escape has always been one of those bands I was aware of, but usually didn’t pay too much attention to. They did a split 7“ with Turning Point, which is probably their biggest claim to fame. Other than that, they were never really on my radar. Then again, there was never that much material to go on to start with.

When I saw this discography pop up on mailorder websites and in my Instagram feed, I listened to the Turning Point split again and decided to give No Escape a chance. After listening to this LP a few times, this was definitely a good decision. The songs on here are really good. I got stuck with the army green version, which doesn‘t really show in the picture and I might have to take another one. Blue would have been nice, coke bottle clear would have been awesome, but army green? Who would choose that color to begin with? At least the music is really good.

Turning Point

Some time ago I made a post about the Turning Point LP and the lack of Turning Point records in my life. I also promised (myself) to rectify that as soon as possible, so here we are. While my main interest was in the Turning Point side, which is really good, the No Escape side turned out to be pretty good, too. Sadly there's only one more vinyl release of that band, No Escape that is. They also released a CD, but who really needs CDs? The other vinyl release is a split with Bonesaw on everybody's favourite German label Lost And Found. Now, the entry on Discogs claims that the No Escape songs were officially licensed by Temperance Records, but with L&F you never know. Be that as it may, this is a really good split by two really good bands. There's also a variant on clear gold vinyl.
