the new no turning back effort and without even a tune of that new record hitting my ears, i pre-ordered it straight away. since ntb started out in the late nineties, there has been no release that disappointed. they never strayed away from the small musical frame that is called old school hardcore, but within it they are definitely an european institution.
call it what you may, but i love these half an hour short eruptions full of scene clichés and lyrical stereotypes that we all hold so dear. no turning back doesn't invent the wheel anew but they are damn good at rolling it along the stages of this planet earth. a band that always delivers.
'never give up' is no exception. fast and bouncing hardcore with a strong nyhc-tinge. check out the videos for 'true love' and 'destination unknown' and feel your feet moving to the beat automatically. i pre-ordered at berlin's core-tex records and chose the white and red mix vinyl.
as you can see, white and red makes a bit of a marbled pink. looks pretty sweet in my book. they got two other colour-ways available from their own d.i.y. e-store and core-tex has copies left as well. the three colours are limited to 200 copies each. furthermore they had 400 black copies with them on the release tour with four different sleeves limited to 100 copies each. take control records. 2015.
