I post a lot of bands who never got to release anything beyond a single demo tape, and sometimes those single demos are super badass and fun and yet have been completely overlooked. This is one of those situations. NOXIOUS were a band from my hometown of Rochester, NY, but they broke up just a couple years before I started going to see local shows nearly 30 years ago. So they were mythical to me, I only ever heard stories about how drunk their vocalist Finny was at shows and recording. He sounded like the drunkest man alive. Legendary. The band would later semi-reunite under the name Mungbeandemon with all new songs that sound like a continuation of what you can hear below. I loved MBD but again, always wished I could have seen Noxious, or that I could find their tape. Now after nearly 30 years I got one! Thanks to Cheapo Blaine for sending me a small box of Rochester demos, most of which will wind up here, and one of the Big Hair tapes already has. I'm very excited to have these tapes, and this Noxious tapes, as well as some demos I had back then that were lost over the decades. So yeah, enjoy this weirdo Rochester band. Do you like bands like Victim's Family? NoMeansNo? Plaid Retina or Schlong? Not that they sound exactly like those bands but if they were here in the East Bay back then they would have been playing with those bands, and maybe would have even put out a record! - DH
