'no heroes' was the second converge album that i bought on vinyl. it was the only one i remotely knew but knowing something remotely and liking it cannot be said in one sentence with the band converge. i think, you have to invest more effort and spend more time with their records, than with your average hardcore band. but it gives more than it takes, without a doubt.
i got this copy through discogs. i was browsing through the vinyl offerings for 'no heroes' and came across a seller from canada. all together with shipping costs i spent around €25, so not over the odds. plus i got a first press copy.
music-wise this is, again, outstanding hardcore punk, new-school-hardcore, noise- post- whatever-core... you name it. the list goes on and on. i think it's the only real compliment when people fail to categorise a band, because the band is its own category. listen to the album in its entirety here.
another proof for the assumption that there is no bad jacob bannon artwork. i like the inside of the sleeve even more. only problem that arises concerning the layout is the arrangement of the lyrics. it's printed continously without any breaks, so it's a pain reading them along the music. nice colour way. pink w/ white swirl vinyl out of 1000 copies. 'no heroes' is in its fourth pressing by now. check details here. dethwish inc. 2006.
