No Trend - Teen Love (live)

Flipside Video Fanzine, vol. 3

Lydia Lunch: "They're over. Deceased. When I tell people I was working with No Trend, they just go Oh, my God! I hate them!, Im like: Well, thats one vote of confidence... Great, anyone whos that hated - even Sonic Youth banned them from playing with them - they cant be all bad! Mostly it was their lyrics, I loved the No Trend lyrics... they had sent me a tape asking me if I would sing some songs and the lyrics were just so basic and so right: Quick! Two seconds to non-existence, so what the fuck do you want? - how can you beat that, I mean the curtest lyrics Ive ever heard, Too many fucking humans, You breed like rats, And youre no fucking better! - brilliant, yknow, great! So they were just a band who could not really find their niche, put out a few records, I helped them get out a record or two and then they just disappeared into obscurity, and hence forth the lead singer and main man, Jefferson Scott, went on to make a film about John Holmes life, the porn superstar, Johnny Wad - cant vouch for it, havent seen it. Love Johnny Wad though, absolute hero."

No Trend were amazing. Like Flipper meets PIL yet very original. Kind of cool to hear this done live. They were too underrated.

They used to practice down the street from where I grew up. They were great, totally unique

DOes ANYBODY have any sort of pictures of the band members xD

one of the most frustrating live recordings ever.

Fucking great to know an awesome band used to be around where I live.

Dayumn. This brings back memories. Anyone got "Too Many Humans?" Now that is a song whose relevance has never diminished.

hi,

I love them for a long time.

Do you know something about them, what are they doing today?

Such a creativity can't disappear!
