Biography

The band was born in Modena, in 2003. It was just another young punk band with something to say and a lot of energy to explode. None of us would expect to get so far from the shore. By the way we have crossed stormy seas, we had many line-up changes, many tours, many releases, many sweat and tears but in the end we had a lot of fun and still we do. No White Rag stands for “rejecting the white flag”, rejecting to give up the struggle. We started with a lot of politically charged lyrics, especially because we were influenced by all the diy and anarchist movement in Italy. For all the first decade of the century, we were fully involved into the squat “La Scintilla” in Modena where we used to organize gigs and it was a good way to deal with many bands from abroad. This thing allowed us to make a few tours in Swiss and Germany since the first years of activity. Besides the band Zanna started a diy label called Nuclear Chaos Records, that was the engine that allowed us to release all our stuff by our own together with many other projects like that. Since then we have recorded and produced two 7” EP and four full-length albums plus a couple of tapes. We strongly believe that punk still can be a good weapon to emancipate yourself from the oppression of society. From Jakarta to Bologna we had always found people who have something in common: it’s the same spark who says to not give up to resignation. To have fun through the revolution. To not be just a number!
