No Cash - Run Your Pockets

This was a band in the same vein of Choking Victim. They incorporated elements of hardcore punk, ska-core, metal, and rap into their music. This album, along with a split with the band Team Spider titled Summertime In The City, was the band's sole recorded output. They broke up in 2005. I don't have much other info about them. Wikipedia is the place to go for a bit more, but they remain mostly a mystery to me. I'm not even sure if their name was officially No Cash, No-Cash, No Ca$h, or No-Ca$h, as I have seen all of those. It doesn't really matter though because this band was amazing.

Choking Victim - No Gods, No Managers


This is one of my favorite albums ever. Choking Victim formed in New York in 1992 out of the ashes of the band No Commercial Value. No Gods/No Managers was recorded one day in 1999 and the band broke up the next, literally. Luckily there was enough good material to make one full album, and what an album it is. Every once in a while the band gets back together to play a show or two. This band play a hybrid style of hardcore punk, ska-core, and more that they call Crack Rock Steady. Most of the members now play in the band Leftöver Crack. As always, more info can be found on Wikipedia.
