some press from Deli Magazine

In order to pull off a name like Never Give a Goat the High Ground, you had better back it up with some good music. NGAGTHG’s new EP “T.I.N.A.” (short for There is No Alternative) is definitely not background music.  It’s noisy. It’s harsh. It’s aggressive.  It makes your want to ditch all of your possessions and leave all the insanity behind; everything a good "punk" band should do! Bassist and Vocalist Jeff Ausura’s socio-political spoken word rants and raspy screams, give some serious meaning and legitimate anger behind the noisy guitars and punchy drums. NGAGTHG’s sound has a bit of Post-Punk legends Big Black mixed with Sleep and Refused, which is a delicious combination. Give them a listen on their Bandcamp, and like them on Facebook. – Paul Jordan Talbot

Boston’s pissed off Never Give A Goat The High Ground close out tonight’s excellent Treat Yo Self at Radio w/ Sippy Cup pals Bambara and The Big Big Bucks. We’re talking about unchecked aggression here: their first pair of songs T.I.N.A. (who doesn’t love a good Margaret Thatcher reference??) picks up where bands like The Jesus Lizard and Shellac left us in the lurch. The trio keep us in check with biting longwinded cautionary rants about bozos and morons; the street preacher set to its aural equivalent. They’re the ones putting the F in front of art, the B and R on the back of a one dollar bill, and they’re laughing to themselves every time. These kind of songs played in front of the right kind of crowd could be explosive.

I guess find out tonight? You can pick up NGAGTHG’s T.I.N.A. on t-shirt+digital via Fabrik Recordings, a medium I definitely approve of.
