About Allison

Allison teamed up with John Loder as the very first Southern employee back in 1985 when they had the idea of starting up a record distribution company. Prior to that she published a fanzine (Savage Pink), played in bands, promoted shows, ran a venue (for about a week before the mayor shut it down), worked at a record distributor, and generally fought the punk wars. Now she is the owner & chief pot washer of Southern.

Nomeansno are 33 1/3 years old and they like to tour

These days, punk is like classic rock.  It’s “oldies”.  People who liked punk when it was actually happening are in old age homes now.  They have great-grandchildren.  They remember the time before there was electricity.

Nomeansno are like that.  They started their band in 1979, which apart from being 33 1/3 years ago (which is coincidentally the number of rounds per minute on a long-playing vinyl record), is also before the invention of the motor car.  Go on, look it up.

Nomeansno put out a record called Old, because that’s what they are.  It’s been out of print for a while so we just pressed some more up in black & white splatter vinyl.  Check this out.

WRONG37 splatterCool. right?  Well we thought so.

Nomeansno are also touring.  They do that a lot.  Old people get stuck in their habits and they don’t like change.   They’re coming to the UK for the first time in about five years, and to be honest, in the live environment, they kick the shit out of any band formed since about 1999.  Which is pretty impressive for old people.
