NO SWEAT - Demo

Location: Rochester, NY
Release: Endwell Records, 2005

Can't remember how I got to know this one but it was a really good demo! NO SWEAT shared members with Hit The Lights (Reaper Records), that later formed Black SS.

This record is about five tracks of pissed yet fun youth crew hardcore, youngblood style. Endwell Records made a 7" out of their demo tape named "no shirt, no shoes, no sweat!" to celebrate their reunion show in January 2006.
