Album Notes

Are you curious what might happen if Stephan Jenkins of Third Eye Blind took over singing duties for Kurt Cobain in Nirvana or Layne Staley in Alice in Chains? The result would sound something like "Pull the Plug," the breakout EP from Silver Spring, Maryland's No Compromise.

Better known as NoCo, this alt rock trio takes it cues from classic alternative acts like Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Green Day, and Third Eye Blind while also delving into some heavier territory along the lines of Nickelback, Three Days Grace, and Tool.

The sound has been described as fusing driving rhythms with catchy guitar lines and pop-oriented vocals, but its main strength is diversity. If you ever get tired of bands with songs which sound exactly the same on a CD from track 1 to 12, this is the CD you've been waiting for.

When you purchase this album the beefy guitar riffs and catchy vocal melodies will have you nodding your head and singing along in no time at all!

What are people saying about the album?

"This EP is very impressive. The sound is heavy enough to appeal to fans of grunge, but with vocals that are more power-pop oriented. It's a good mixture, and the band sounds very tight and confident. Don't be surprised if No Compromise becomes the next big thing in old-school alternative rock." - David Schrimpf (Jefitoblog/Popdose)

"Solid and pleasing performances from all three musicians and a very good mix of music make this a standout release for '07. Very highly recommended!!!" - Craig "Bam-Bam" Stegall (Away Team)

"The former Terps — bassist Justin Fry, axman Jack Kwait-Blank, and William Bowen on the skins — are tall, frosty mugs of guitar rock with stiff grunge chasers. The resulting buzz sends the room spinning and the ears bleeding. It's good." - The Silver Spring Penguin
