Nomeansno est un groupe de punk hardcore originaire de Victoria (Colombie-Britannique) au Canada, actuellement établi à Vancouver.

Sommaire

Historique

Le groupe est formé en 1979 par les frères Rob (basse, chant) et John Wright (batterie, claviers, chant). Rob Wright est le principal compositeur et parolier du groupe. Le nom « Nomeansno » (« Non, c'est non », ou « Non veut dire non ») est tiré d'une campagne contre le viol. Au départ, le groupe emprunte au rock progressif et au jazz autant qu'au punk rock. On attribue parfois à Nomeansno une influence déterminante sur la naissance du math rock. Après des enregistrements en duo basse/batterie, en 1983, Andy Kerr (guitare, chant) rejoint le groupe sous le pseudonyme de « Buttercup » ou sous celui de « None of your fucking business ». Il quitte le groupe en 1991. Après un album en duo (Why Do They Call Me Mr. Happy?) les frères Wright embauchent le guitariste Tom Holliston.

Sans avoir jamais bénéficié d'un succès grand public, Nomeansno est suivi par une importante base de fans.

Le groupe a été produit et distribué par le label Alternative Tentacles jusqu'en 2002 (sauf un live en co-distribution avec De Konkurrent), puis par Southern Records et leur label personnel : Wrong Records.
