Chronic - No Time 7″ flexi
May 27th, 2006 at 11:57 am
Here’s a really obscure record that I’ve had since the late 80’s I think. Can’t remember who I got it from. This is a big call to Steve at Low Down Kids or James at Worthless Trash to help me out since I’ve found absolutly nothing on Chronics. Not even on a want list. The intro is completly pointless bit as soon as the song starts going it’s a great Clashis punk rock song that would fit on one of those famous compilations. The other band on this flexi “Living End” is so bad it should be erased from history forever.

This is one of my favourite records. Sounds as though its been recorded live in the studio….it’s a really quiet recording, listen carefully just after the intro and it sounds like the sound engineer ups the volume as he realises it’s just a bit too damn quiet! Their only other vinyl appearance was on one of the ‘1 in 12 club’ comp LPs…tho’ it’s not really a worthwhile song to track down.

Can’t really add anything to this except that Chronic were one of those bands who frequented those anarcho-punk cassette comps during the early 80’s, never heard any of their material before and this flexi is a new one to me. Not a bad song once it gets going.

heres a patched together bio basically two brothers mark and andy Mark:
At the age of 15 I got bitten by the bass guitar bug and went from vertical to horizontal plucking, playing with my brother in a punk band and writing most of our own material for Chronic
Andy:
By 1980 I had progressed to the guitar in order to form a punk rock band called Chronic.
thats all there are in terms of other internet references

Can’t stop listening to this one… And I think the intro serves a purpose - it makes the song better.

Glad you find a purpose for the intro Johan :). I had to listen to it again. And fuck yeah it’s such a great song.
