NEVER AGAIN - Walk By Myself - 7" + download code - Japan.

NEVER AGAIN who have long nurtured the underground Hiroshima scene have now released a long-awaited 7" single!!
This band creates vibrant pieces colored with the specific format in mind. Although NEVER AGAIN have been actively releasing new material for the past few years, it's been a while since a 7" release. NEVER AGAIN's essence is embedded in a spinal cord made of hardcore and punk, but their approaches to music flourish beyond a cage of bone. Throughout their career they have received support from many masses, but NEVER AGAIN's main message has never become a mere decoration. They speak straight from the heart. To those familiar with the mysterious stains and questionable aromas of punk history, the name Never Again is particularly apt for a punk act out of Hiroshima. In 1981, British punks Discharge released a track of the same name that consisted of little more than four haiku-like lines describing the aftermath of an atomic bombing — each followed by the brutally shouted words “Never, never, never again!!!”
Yet surprisingly the choice of names came entirely by accident.“We needed a name, and I happened to be wearing a Discharge hoodie with that album cover on it,” recalls Nishizaki, who was 16 at the time. “So I pointed to the words and read, ‘We’re called Never Again!’ I had no idea what it meant at the time.” It was only later, when showing an overseas punk band around the Peace Park, that one of its members explained the damning antinuclear message of the Discharge song.
