In the past year or so I've been hearing mention of an old Victoria punk band from the 80's. Now I saw No Means No once back in the mid-90's, I know about Contempt and so on, but never heard about this band until recently. Does anyone have any info, recordings, etc? I'm curious. - Fri, 17 Sep 2004 5:24pm

Neos = super fast grind punk!
Talk to Scott Henderson or Jason Flower they will know much more about this band than most people. - Fri, 17 Sep 2004 5:54pm

They were a super fast hardcore band of the early 80s. They released two ep's, "No More Discrimination" and "Hassibah Gets the Martian Brain Squeeze" (if I'm remembering correctly). Both are totally out of print and worth scads of money. They were self -released & then rereleased by Ratcage Records from NYC (the same label as the Beastie Boys!). Jason Flower had a scheme to release a Neo's CD a few years back, but I don't know if it actually got finished. "Griphin" from this board might also have some of their music for you to hear :) - Fri, 17 Sep 2004 6:22pm

The CD was released. Can't remember where I got mine, or if any can still be acquired. If you can get your hands on one - good on ya. Probably - no, they WERE - the most seminal, coolest band to ever come out of this city. Over the years, scads and scads of zines worshipped this band as being one of the most influential, rip-shit-up hardcore bands, PERIOD. Like M.G. said, Scott would be your best bet for further info. - Fri, 17 Sep 2004 6:54pm

Jason Flower is planning a Neos Cd that includes both EP's and a bunch of other stuff as well; it should be out soon. Kev Smith was involved and I think it has been remastered as well. I wrote the liner notes so you know it's gotta be good, right? - Fri, 17 Sep 2004 8:47pm

Thanks Bryn, I checked out that whole page. It's funny because the only bands on there that I actually saw or remember (not counting reunion shows) are the "went on to be a member of" bands. - Mon, 20 Sep 2004 7:11pm
