New York’s Non Phixion have called it a day, according to a bulletin on their website. Their ten year tenure together is over, allowing individual members to do their own thing. Ill Bill, Sabac Red and DJ Eclipse have all said they will work with each other in the future, under a different name, but the split comes because of “Goretex’s general unreliability and total lack of interest in touring, writing and recording music with Non Phixion”.
Ill Bill is working with La Coka Nostra at the moment, but plans to release a Live At CBGB’s DVD later this year and is also working on his new solo album, The Hour Of Reprisal, due in 2007. Sabac is also working on a new album, The Ritual and DJ Eclipse is looking to put out a Halftime Show DVD in 2007, with freestyles and interviews from his radio show.

This four CD set collects the best singles from this period that somehow slipped under the mainstream radar, or were just too damn weird. This music was a huge influence on the first wave of punk and shares many similarities, capturing the same reckless energy and drug-crazed rebellion as The Damned, Sex Pistols etc. Fuck the history lesson though, this is just great music, the when’s and where’s don’t really matter, just turn it up and drop yourself a cheeky half.
