CARRY NATION - Protect and Serve

Location: Orange County, US
Release: Lost & Found Records, 1996

As many may be mistaken about it, CARRY NATION actually came before No For An Answer, conceived in 1985 as the first ever band project for both Dan O'Mahony and Gavin Oglesby and then recorded and released in 1989 as Face The Nation 7". That would explain the more aggro vibe Carry Nation portrayed.

Comprised of 2/4 of NFAA and 1/4 of INSTED plus Big Frank (owner of Nemesis Records) Carry Nation -- despite the time span between conception and execution -- was very short lived and was firstly featured as the third release on Dan O's label Workshed Records.


During an euro reunion tour with NFAA in 1993, Dan signed a deal with Lost & Found for a possible new NFAA record, when the tour ended he changed his mind about the whole reunion idea and tried to push his new ongoing project GOD FORGOT, after a certain length of time God Forgot ended up being released on another label, to cash back some of the investment L&F released the Protect And Serve CD with the 4 tracks of Face The Nation plus two live tracks found on Nemesis compilations "No Control At The Country Club Live" and "Hardcore 1990 East Meets West", both re-released into one CD in 1995.
