Welcome to NO MORE PAIN! My good friend Chad Mackenzie and myself have decided to start a blog dedicated to the bands/records/music/ideas that we love, we are both very excited about this. Now that we finally took the plunge into actually doing this rather than just talk about it I found myself not quite knowing where to begin. What better way to kick thing off then with a first post about the first record I ever bought?
The Answer - You Had Your Chance
About 7 years ago I was at a show almost, I cant remember who was playing but I ended up looking at a distro that was set up in the back of the room and one cover jumped out from the rest of the hardcore/punk records. A white sleeve with a crudely drawn sailboat colored in with crayon and the caption "I hate girls, I love tugboats". What can I say? I felt compelled to buy it. later that night when I got back home I through it on my parents turntable and put on the headphones, about 5 seconds into the first song I was sold! Fast, angry & straightedge, what more could a 15 year old kid ask for? Since then I have taken it upon myself to try and collect every record the answer put out, It's been about 7 years and I'm still working on completing the collection but thats a whole other post in itself.
