No Life For Me might be fast, but my god, will you enjoy the ride.

Exclaim!

Like a punk rock Watch the Throne, No Life for Me finds two of the genre's leading lights working at the peak of their powers.

Consequence of Sound

No Life for Me may not be a masterpiece, but it does offer a wobbly, hazy shape of a certain kind of punk to come.

My favorite part is how it is very resemblant of sonic youth on many songs regarding guitar tone. and it gets kinda shoegazy too. overall just an amazing album in my opinion and highly underrated and thrown under the bus. i think its basically perfect. if people stopped looking for artists to try and one-up themselves and rather just ... read more
