The style of hardcore that people have come to associate with New York in the 90s has become decidedly ubiquitous in recent years. Even in a city like Toronto, which has been known for its unabashed worship of no bullshit 80s USHC since the early 2000s, hundreds of 905'ers with long sleeve tees, X's on hands, and serious mosh moves flock to bigger shows to get their hardcore for hardcore on.

Enter 1998 when this style of hardcore was practically unheard of, and a bunch of punk ass brats from the (b)east end of Toronto called No Warning began fucking shit up on a grandiose scale, starting fights, flirting with racist jokes, and turning the word "BUST" into a mosher's call to arms. Released in 2001, No Warning's first 7" (their only one until this year, actually) still holds up more than ever and is a powerful display of how this band ultimately created a paradigm shift in hardcore. 350 copies of this were pressed on black vinyl with blue labels, and 100 (or maybe 106?) were pressed on purple vinyl with blue labels. There's also 150 copies of the black vinyl with blue labels with a "Underdog" weekend tour sleeve that is hand-numbered on the inside of the sleeve. 400 copies are also on black vinyl with blue labels and have an alternate cover for another tour. Finally, a second pressing on black vinyl with red labels exists, and there's 200 copies on white vinyl with red labels. Life's a bitch, suck it up, buy this 7", don't fuck it up.
