Biography
Seсor No were born at the Buenavista rehearsing rooms (the focus of Donosti's punk rock scene) during the spring of 1993 and after the demise of La Perrera, Xabi (guitar and vocals) and bassist Mikel's former band. For their new project, they acquired the services of the astounding drummer Andoni (who used to play with Dead Movies) and of Imanol, who had no band experience.
Their strongest influences come from 77's punk (Damned, Dead Boys, Ramones…) and the hardest rock from the '70s (Stooges, MC5, Motцrhead…). During their first months together, their pace was slow, not recording a demo until 1994. That tape grabbed No Tomorrow's attention and, in the company of some new songs recorded in September, became their debut LP and NT's second "big" reference. The record appeared at the end of the year and got mixed-up reviews ranginf from enthusiastic to indifferent. Although its sound fails to capture the fury that the band deploys playing live (no doubt, their performances are one of Spain's strongest), it still is a consistent work, packed with impressive guitar licks and some excellent tunes.
After the release of the LP, Seсor No began to work faster, playing more often and recording two more records, the impressive single "Mira mi dedo", that every Motцrhead fan should listen, and two years after their first recording sessions, their second LP, "No Mundo".
This is the LP that Seсor No hide inside and were unable to get at their first try. The songs follow each other relentlessly (24 minutes for 11 songs!), the guitar sound is sweeping, and the covers are perfect (specially their reading of The Who's "Pictures Of Lily"). In the few monts passed from its release, some sources are calling it one of this year's best works.
Lately, Seсor No have appeared in two compilations from USA and Belgium, covering a song from their beloved Damned in one and with a self-composed song in the other.
"A big punk rock guerrilla, with fast, strong rhythms and guitars as sharp as knives… truly commendable." (Kike Turmix, ZONA DE OBRAS)
"…their devilish rhythmic strength, their unbreakable inner cohession, the fevered guitars, the depth of their brightly articulated songs… are impressive." (Jaime Gonzalo, RUTA 66)
"They cut all unnecessary oversentimentality and come straight to the point, weaving a guitar framework of punk rock, high energy, and lotsa bad mood. Not to be missed." (Goofy, N.O.T. 'ZINE)
"…one of the most upright works I've heard lately… its electric avalanche will swelter you, and the load of cynism and anger of its lyrics will corrode your guts." (Trashmike, HANGOVER 'ZINE)
