"The Neos formed around 1979/1980 in Victoria, B.C., an hour and a half ferry ride from Vancouver. This high school trio played noisy, light-speed hardcore in an attempt to be the world's fastest band, which at the time they probably were. Although they gigged infrequently, they still managed to open for the likes of the Subhumans, Black Flag and Dead Kennedys (who made a fan out of Jello). They released two 7"s, both in 1982, on their own label: the 11 song 'End All Discrimination' and the 14 song 'Hassibah Gets The Martian Brain Squeeze'. Ratcage Records repressed the second 7" the following year. [There's an unreleased LP as well. --S] When the band called it quits at the end of '83, Steve and Kev continued on for another year as 'Harvest Of Seaweed'. After this, Kev started 'Sludge Confrontations' with John from the legendary 'Jerk Ward'. They eventually went on to play in 'Mexican Power Authority' and the 'Showbiz Giants'. Despite being fairly obscure, they still remain very influential, even having their songs covered by Charles Bronson and NOFX."
