No Ca$h


Genre: Ska Punk,Hardcore Punk,Crust Punk


No-Cash (or No Ca$h) was an American punk rock band that formed in 1999. No-Cash consisted of four members that were as follows: Big C (also known as Chris Cash) on lead vocals and guitar, Judd (lead guitar), The Fang (bass guitar), and Arms Of Fury (Kellen Hathaway) (drums). The latter three also performed backing vocals and have all adopted stage names as shown. Despite constantly being compared to the Crack Rock Steady Seven and especially Leftöver Crack due to musical and lyrical similarities, No-Cash originated in Pennsylvania rather than New York and as such had its own unique members. In 2005, No-Cash disbanded due to "differences within the band" – their website went down and no further explanation was ever given.
No-Cash was formed in 1999 in Nazareth, Pennsylvania under Big C, No-Cash's frontman and guitarist.
The band began playing locally and soon attracted the attention of the nearby Crack Rock Steady scene in NYC. No-Cash gained even more popularity after releasing a split with Team Spider entitled Summertime In The City. This split was produced by Stza of Leftöver Crack. In 2004, the band released their first (and only) full length album under VMS records, entitled Run Your Pockets.
That same year, the band broke up under uncertain circumstances. Big C then switched his stage name to MC Devlin and formed a reggae/hip hop band called The Mad Conductor with producer Dan McKinney, who worked with the band on their split album with Team Spider.Even though No-Cash had a very short run, the music they have released is still widely celebrated in the punk community and especially by fans of the Crack Rock Steady Seven. Based in industrial Nazareth, Pennsylvania, No-Cash was able to send a direct message through their lyrics to those living in hostile environments and create an understanding. Much like bands coming from the Crack Rock Steady Seven, lyrical topics were anti-racism, anti-religion, anti-authority, etc. but sometimes even covered topics such as domesticity and education since during the band's run all the members were high school age.
