New Zealand band No Tag were part of the early 1980’s West Auckland hall punk scene with the likes of The Mormons, The Plunket Boys, Red Cross and Vicious Circle. Playing gigs in hired halls such as the Owairaka Hall, Mount Roskill Municipal Hall, and the Mount Albert Primary School Hall, as most venues banned punk bands from playing. Manly due to the behaviour of crowds they attracted. In the true tradition of punk, these gigs were organised by fans or the bands themselves and promoted by self-designed photocopied posters. No Tag were the only band from that scene to release a record. This is their 1982 debut EP, release on Propeller Records (Rev21). They also released an album. The arm and tattoo -yes, its a real tattoo- on the cover belongs to the drummer Carl.
