Canadian progressive punk legends NoMeansNo announced in a post on their Facebook page that they are retiring after more than 35 years together. Drummer John Wright explains:
“Greetings everybody, John here from NMN and with a heavy heart I must announce the retirement of No Means No. A hiatus became a long hiatus and a lingering hiatus has become a permanent one. Thirty-five years and countless miles, a couple thousand shows and many more beers, a bunch of tunes and sweaty hoards of great fans, I can’t say thanks enough to everyone. I will continue to post here on our page about the Robots and future projects if and when they happen. Hoping to have the debut Compressorhead album out by next march so you have not heard the last of things yet. So cheers everyone! Raise a glass….xo”
NoMeansNo’s final album, All Roads Lead to Ausfahrt, was released in 2006.
