"I won't re-use phrases like "melodic rock" or "guitar hooks". I will just say this is a band that should have made it big. They have left this classic toe-tapper behind for us and for that I thank them!"

No Sweat (Polygram)

"Good sounding ten track longplayer by a band that I really haven't heard anything about since this CD was released.No Sweat puts forth their own brand of 'melodic heavy rock' for those who might fully appreciate it.Best tunes include "On The Edge","Generation" and the ass-kicking "Tear Down The Walls"(simply never could get enough of THIS song).Just might appeal to fans of Bolt Thrower,Corrosion Of Conformity.Give it a try."

Better than average melodic hard rock

"No Sweat's self-titled debut album is a solid, melodic hard rock effort. Much like Steelheart, Firehouse, Tyketto, or Von Groove, No Sweat combined catchy melodies, guitar hooks, energetic vocals, and love song/party rock lyrics. It's pretty standard stuff for that era (1990), but it is a good example of why that period's hard rock is so much fun to listen to. If the band had been given a bigger push by the record company, they probably would have been quite popular; at least until Nirvana and the rest of the flannel-wearing crowd arrived. Those of you who still like your rock catchy, melodic, and not quite so serious should find No Sweat's self-titled album to be very enjoyable. It's not an easy disc to track down, but it is well worth the effort."
