Guns N’ Rosa Parks: No More Unity 7″ (2024 Edition)

Description

Limited edition version sold at 2024 gig with bonus sleeve, hand-numbered out of 50 copies.

More than a decade after the bands demise, the second EP from GUNS N ROSA PARKS has materialized. I saw GNRP in 2011, and they took the roof completely off the joint (joint in this case was a sports and/or dive bar)just a ball of energy looking for somewhere to blow. This EP captures thatten bursts of bare-bones and no-nonsense hardcore punk that give casual nods to their influences (to hear Police-era FUCKED UP and Break Down The Walls sneak out of back-to-back tracks is to feel yourself get stoked), but ultimately presents as nothing more than what they were: a hardcore punk band from Denver, Colorado. As something of a delayed and/or retrospective release, No More Unity fukkn nails ittop-tier hardcore packaged in a gorgeous twelve-page booklet packed with lyrics, photos, and flyers spanning the bands existence. On the one hand, to see an underappreciated outfit get given the deluxe treatment like this just feels right. On the other hand, give me the breakdown to No More Unity II over most of the hardcore Ive heard this year. (Robert Collins Maximumrocknroll #451)
