"With
their latest EP, entitled in delicious slacker-couture fashion
Sleeping Is Winning, Portland, Oregon-by-way-of-Burlington trio No Go
Know has crafted a rock critic’s worst nightmare: a bafflingly diverse
little collection of tunes that defies categorization and challenges
the listener to keep up. It’s a workout, but, as they say: no pain, no
gain.
In truth, there’s nothing remotely painful about No Go
Know’s second release. To the contrary, each of the five tunes offered
here is remarkable for its individual peculiarities, particularly in
relation to the others. If that sounds confusing, it is. But in the
end, it’s also rewarding."

You just never know what's going to pop up in your...
"It's a
power punch in 5 parts, each tune a little ball of energy that rips
through your speakers.
At
times they remind me of Fugazi with their disjointed rhythms and
stop-n-go jerkiness, and they use the dynamic variations of loud and
quiet to set their musical themes in motion. At the same time, they
shake up their sound enough to avoid such easy comparisons, by throwing
in gobs of melody reminiscent of the early psychedelic pop era. Great
stuff"
