No Doctors Oakland,
CA US
Everything you knew of No Doctors has been flipped
upside down again--these punks have twisted their ways through America’s
sinews for years now, flogging at the strangest horses along the way.
It would seem all mystic smoke and mirrors by now if we didn’t
have documents of their sick growth; like mushrooms on a cow turd. They
clearly feed off the dark and the damp and the subterranean; but the
results cannot be measured with any conventional devices; nor reproduced
even under the strictest of control environments. nodoctors.com |
