Without A Fight
About Without A Fight from Nelson
Nelson hardcore punk act, Without A Fight, formed in 2007 from the ashes of False Heroes Fall. Founding members Matt Duncan (Method in Mono) and Andy Riley (Not Ok) worked their way through a succession of Guitarists, playing shows regularly including support slots for the UK Subs, Kitsch and Cobra Khan.
In October 2009, old friend Nathan Neumann (RSI, The War Within )joined the band on guitar and backing vocals and the band entered the studio to record their debut EP.
Recorded during the summer of 2009 –2010, "Cabin Fever" features six tracks and was produced by the band and Neumann in his home studio. Several tracks off the E.P have been played regularly on local access radio.
In 2011 the band re-entered the studio to record the follow up to Cabin Fever. Entitled "The Wreck" and again self produced by Neumann and the band, the EP has a more polished, diverse sound. More of the bands influences can be seen on The Wreck which is scheduled for release in 2012.
Recently the band have expanded to a four piece with the addition of former Basura Blanca Bassist, Matt Mason on guitar. Musically, Without A Fight are a blend of the bands influences. Hardcore, Punk and Metal are fused to create a heavy, yet melodic, hook based sound.
Future plans for the band include, more touring around New Zealand, shooting a music video, and writing new material for their next release.
