THE COMES - NO SIDE 12" (1984)


While the "No Side" 12" by The Comes is considered by many to be a seminal burst of energy from one of the very first Japanese hardcore bands, I will admit my ignorance in not being overly aware of this record until 2 or 3 years ago at best. It very quickly, however, became one of my favorite hardcore records and with a recent vinyl bootleg quickly circulating various record stores and distros, those of you unfamiliar will be pleased to find this record (somewhat) available (said bootleg is supposedly limited to a mere 500 copies).

Regarding the album itself, these eleven tracks combine a whirlwind of frantic vocals, blazing guitars and pounding drums that, ultimately, combine to make an absolutely fantastic record. No fat to trim off on this one, folks, it's an absolute classic from start to finish.
