An antidote to the tough-guy hardcore
spreading from CBGB’s, emo outliers
Native Nod’s unique genre juxtaposition
of damaged art-rock, daring/naive
songwriting, and raw, poetic vocals
have set them apart from the glut of
early-’90s post-hardcore. Compiled
here are the band’s trio of seminal 7”
EPs for the Gern Blandsten label, with
liner notes by Jenn Pelly and scores of
unseen photographs and ephemera.
