[TuneOTD] No Such Noise! - REST IN PEACE (ft. Rob Crews)


Artist: No Such Noise!
Genre: Pop-Punk/Ska
Location: Sicklerville, New Jersey, US
Label Type: Unsigned




Today’s tune comes from across the pond in the form of ‘Rest in Peace’ by New Jersey’s Ska-pop rockers No Such Noise! The track features Rob Crews who also featured on the opening track on the band’s sophomore EP ‘Life Goes On’ as a guest vocalist on the track ‘Two Years and 25 Cents’. The EP in question was released in the summer earlier this year, and was the follow up to 2010’s debut EP ‘Worst Birthday Ever’.  

This track portrays all the brass and stochastic traits you want in a ska-infused pop-punk song such as this, demonstrating clear positive nods to New Found Glory, Less Than Jake and the like. This is immediately clear, ordering an instant head-bopping without realisation. It’s a great introduction sampling a sign of things to come followed by a subsequent calm before the storm before erupting into an explosion when the ska horns of Alex Dart’s sax and Ben Schroeder’s trombone re-enter the fray, accompanied by the crashing drums of Tom Crone. Furthermore, the energy that has gone into the vocals show a real display of passion for the subject matter, more than capably backed up by the edgy, powerful backline of the whole ensemble, from the bass of Joe Fuscia to the guitars of Mike Campanelli and lead vocalist Mitch Guedon. In a nutshell this is an eclectic demonstration of pop-punk with horns. The closest thing you will get to UK’s Kids Can’t Fly.

The single was released a week ago on October 17th, and is available on a name-your-price basis, so download the track off their bandcamp site here, and donate generously! To let you know what you’re going to be purchasing you can check out ‘Rest in Peace’ below:
