I can't tell if you're kidding or not, so I'll answer instead for those that are afraid to ask.
NMA are 80's UK punk band that I can only describe as incendiary. Highly charged lyrics behind hardcore beats, NMA had huge followings in the Europe and a decent following in the States for hardcore punks.
Intelligent lyrics too - they hated the uber hardcore skin heads and facists and relied on their wit through their lyrics attacking just about everything, especially the Tory's and the way America treated the UK as it's "51st state."
They took some time off but played their first gig state side at SXSW this year and were 90% of the reason I tried to get to Austin. They later toured and I caught them in SF where they played a full set. Gang of Four and NMA were easily the best shows I've seen this year. It will be loud and hard and highly entertaining. It's nearly the original line-up (their original drummer passed away in November, he was good friend of a good friend).
They're playing SF on Sept. 17 and I already have tickets, despite the fact that it won't sell out. I'm just that excited about it. Any punk ass that goes to the warped tour should go to show respect to the trailblazers. They won't be disappointed.
