No Fucking Good are rapidly cementing their reputation as standard-bearers for a new wave of anarchistic, old-school punk rock, unapologetically blending the raw aggression of punk with the crushing force of metal. Drawing inspiration from heavyweights like The Bronx, Murder City Devils, Cro-Mags, Black Flag, Dwarves, Fukm, and Suicidal Tendencies, their distinctive, often chaotic sound resonates deeply with audiences in their Bay Area homeland and beyond.

The band’s origins are as unconventional as their music. Guitarist James Conway, bassist Tim Beaulieu, and vocalist Max Flores first crossed paths during the turbulent summer of 2020, all having checked into rehab in Scotts Valley. In an unexpected turn, the trio wasted no time, channelling their experiences into early material and even performing it during their recovery. Once outside, Tim’s long-time friend and former bandmate Joe Horan was recruited on drums, completing the formidable lineup.

Their latest offering, ‘Gasping’, captures No Fucking Good at their most visceral and impactful. It’s a track that immediately asserts itself as a ferocious, bass-heavy anthem. The song is anchored by searing guitar lines that kicks out constantly, laying down a relentless foundation that collides with spike metal elements.

This is modern punk delivered precisely as it should be, caustic, potent, and politically charged. The fierce metal energy that permeates the track ensures it lands with maximum impact, relentlessly cutting through the noise as Max’s impassioned vocals snarl with conviction.

‘Gasping’ is a vital shot in the arm for those craving punk that feels authentic and untamed. No Fucking Good aren't just blurring genre lines; they're obliterating them with a sound that’s both familiar in its fury and refreshingly urgent.
