CD05: No Fooling - "Demo"

“I’ll dance when the lights are off and no one is around…I’ll sing as long as no one is there to hear the sound”

As the hot days of spring and summer start to stamp out the cold days of winter times, scenes of a less divided time start to come to mind. When seeing a chaotic screamo act right along side amazing melodic hardcore and punk was a usual affair. At the start of C86’d, we hoped to merge the adjacent scenes of punk and hardcore with the vibrant screamo scene we saw erupting. Now, with the release of NYC’s No Fooling, we are attempting to do that with our physical output as well.

No Fooling’s melodic hardcore rides a fine line that bridges the gap between fast hardcore and pop punk - vibes we haven’t felt for what seems like a lifetime. Complex songwriting, singalong choruses, at times blistering speed, and even chain punk grunts here or there all wrapped up in a blast of melodic intensity. No Fooling cover a lot of ground in just under thirteen minutes & it makes you want to eke out every last bit of sun from the day. A release that’s been on repeat on our speakers since its January release & we are so happy to have the physical release come out as C86’d #05.
