Artist Biography For No Direction

There Are Several Bands Called No Direction.
1 On What Has To Be The First Independent Album Ever Released By A Sioux Falls South Dakota Punk Band No Direction Plays Earnest Political Protest Numbers With A Lot More Spirit Than Technique. Far Removed From Any Stylistic Trendiness Or For That Matter Pop Musical Trends Of Any Sort This Trio Gains Strength From Its Basic Simplicity. The Sixteen Songs On No Direction Have Energy But A Spare Sound With Open Spaces That Would Benefit Enormously From Bigger Amps And A Skilled Producer. Except For Horribly Mis-EQ’d Sound That Entirely Ignores The Audio Spectrum’s Bottom Half Becoming Obsession Recorded In 1984 Demonstrates An Enormous Amount Of Growth Guitarist Rick Smith Works Complex Jagged Figures Around Singer Rich Show’s Busybody Bass At Least What Can Be Heard Of It And Charles Luden’s Understated Drumming. Without Suggesting That It Sounds Dated The Trio’s Drivingly Hypnotic Swirls Recall ’78/’79-Vintage Cure Or Gang Of Four With A Bit Of Joy Division In The Rhythm Section. Really Cool. Presented In Unedited Form — Complete With False Starts Unstructured Jams Etc. — The No Direction Tapes Is Positively Amazing Easily Comparable To The Work Of Any Other Post-Punk Band Around. Displaying Exceptional Trio Skill Show’s Vocals Having Acquired A Bonoesque Emotional Range Are Also Drastically Better The Thickened Attack Turns Rich And Catchy Melodic Rock Songs Like “Rise Up ” The Touching “Letter To Jeffrey” And The Evocative “Michael Nydelski” Into Storms Of Harmonics And Rhythm That Are Equally Powerful On Conscious And Subliminal Levels. A Reverent Cover Of Joy Division’s “Transmission” May Be A Bit Too Tributary And “Dark Basement” More Or Less Reinvents U2 Clearly The Strongest Influence Here In An Unpretentious American Mold But “Life Is A Crisis” Switches Through Something Resembling The Minutemen’s Sideways Funk Some Unmistakable Who Quotes And A U2-Ish Charge Within A Few Seconds. That The Tracks Were Recorded Virtually Live Suggests What An Awesome Unit These Guys Had Become Few Local Indie Bands Sound As Ready To Play For 50 000 People As This. Or Not. No Direction Broke Up In 1989. Ira Robbins 2 No Direction Is An Energy Driven Four-Piece Rock Band From Milwaukee WI.
