Hello. I’ve been selling for over 10 years on that other site (you can check my feedback there; It's under the same ID as this one; over 3200 positives, 99.7%, and still active). But I thought I'd give this site a try.

Like all of my cds, this is an Original CD, with original inserts (NO CD-Rs or bootlegs).....

Off the map impressive debut full length from this Vancouver rock band who have in a short period of time earned some lofty praise, comparing this record to the finest albums ever made from this city. "When it was done they realized they had a monster on their hands. Ten songs that range from classic raging anthems to short/sharp rockers, from paranoid love songs to epic ruminations on the downfall of society. All delivered with the volume and excitement their live show is known for." Press, tours, videos to follow, CitySick would seem to be a very happening album from this blossoming new band, AND label. "&holy fuck!, I knew these guys were great live, but who knew CitySick would be such a rager of an album? Seriously, the thing didn't leave my CD player all day, 9 to 5. These are the most combustible sounds I've heard in some time (and yes, that includes such acts as The Hives, White Stripes, etc.). ****-(Westender). "Ten years from now CitySick is going to be remembered as a landmark in Vancouver rock 'n' roll, a record that seemingly roared out of nowhere."- (Georgia Straight). "Vancouver's Nasty On proves on its new full-length CD that its rep as one of Canada's brightest rock units is deserved. Ten cuts of Stooges-meets-Amphetamine Reptile-style noise cut right to the bone&"-(The Province). "If Mudhoney would have ever made a record close to this good maybe they would have realized their failed dreams of stardom."-Cockfighter. Nasty On have supported Jonathan Richman, Supersuckers, The Black Halos, The Makers, The Spitfires, Tricky Woo, Boss Hog, Nashville Pussy, The Rapture, The Damned, Hot Hot Heat and And You Will Know Us by The Trail of Dead.


If you happen to drop in on music trivia night at some watering hole in Vancouver, B.C., take a look around and see if local heroes Nasty On are in the establishment. Then buy them some Molsons and convince them to let you join their team -- you'll probably end up on the winning squad.
Nasty On -- singer-lyricist Jason Grimmer, guitarist Allen Forrister, bassist Matthew Lyons and drummer Chad Mareels -- is a bunch of rock history and film geeks, Creem magazine collectors who titled their first EP after the late, great rock critic Lester Bangs, then got a friend to design an illustration of the man for the cover. A band whose guitarist rejoiced when the record store in his native North Battleford, Saskatchewan actually had copies of the Pixies' "Trompe Le Monde" the day it was released worldwide. A band that conceived the cover art of its first full-length album as a thematic cross between the Velvet Underground's "Loaded" and Martin Scorsese's "Mean Streets." A band that, when making its first full-length album, even went to the trouble to make sure the back cover track listings were out of whack with the actual running order, just as a tribute to a rather obscure practice by some classic rock groups (check out a copy of the Stones' "Let It Bleed" for an example).

Rock is an ongoing story to Nasty On, and its irresistibly hooky, yet crushingly heavy music is a new wrinkle on a grand tradition. As the band members sit in a dark corner of a British-style Portland pub before playing the next show of its first-ever American mini-tour, they earnestly testify about their rock education.

"The history of rock 'n' roll is very, very important to me," declares Grimmer. "Listening to Guided By Voices helped me develop a respect for rock 'n' roll from the 50's to now. And I think the 'Lester Bangs' EP in a way said this is who we are, this is where we're coming from. Not a simple thing, but the result of researching the history of rock."

Now, sporting "CitySick," one of the strongest debut full-lengths by a Canadian band in ages, Nasty On is ready to make some history of its own.

"CitySick" clocks in at a lean and mean 35 minutes -- yep, most of rock's classics are closer to this length than the bloated aural tomes of the CD era -- and in that relatively short span of time the album's 10 tracks evoke a laundry list of aggro-rock's titans: the Stooges, the MC5, everything on the "Nuggets" compilation, the Sex Pistols, the Dead Boys, Rocket from the Crypt, Black Flag, the Replacements, AC/DC, the Pixies, you name it. There's even a whiff of the shallow-but-fun days of 80's hair metal. But Nasty On blends all of these influences so well, and with such power, style and class, that "derivative" is the last word comes to mind when describing this music -- even when the album's opening guitar salvo is lifted straight off the Clash's "Police On My Back."

"That's funny -- I don't even really listen to the Clash," says Forrister with a bemused laugh. "When I wrote that song, Jason had called me up and said, 'we should write a song that sounds like the Who.' So I listened to the Who for about 10 minutes and came up with a riff that I thought was sort of like 'Happy Jack,' but faster. But hey, maybe the Clash ripped off the Who!"

Happy accidents aside, "CitySick" made a massive impression on the already-healthy Vancouver rock scene when it was released last summer. Almost immediately, the band found itself on the cover of a prominent alternative weekly, and one critic went so far as to proclaim "CitySick" the best album to come out of the city since 1986, when an obscure (outside of Canada) band called Slow rocked B.C. with its one and only release, "Against the Glass" (another nod to rock history: Nasty On covers the title track in its live show). American magazines Kerrang, Alternative Press and Big Takeover raved. In Backfire magazine, grunge-era producer of choice Jack Endino punctuated his very enthusiastic review ("We couldn't have written it better ourselves," marvels Forrister) with an all-caps exhortation to U.S. labels to get off their duffs and sign the band.

All of this was pretty hard to imagine when the quartet first got together in May 1999. Like most Vancouverites, the members of Nasty On come from somewhere else: Forrister's from Saskatchewan, Mareels is from Ontario and Grimmer and Lyons hail from the same small town in New Brunswick. Before the current lineup formed, Forrister, Grimmer and Mareels had a couple of previous bands. "Let's not talk about them, none of them ever did anything," says Forrister. "We recorded with a microphone into a ghetto blaster, never played any shows." Grimmer's love-hate attitude toward Vancouver (a big factor in the loose theme of "CitySick") eventually drove him back east, but boredom set in and he found himself back out west after a year. When he returned, he found that Forrister and Mareels had really improved in his absence and needed a singer. Lyons joined soon after, and Nasty On was on.
