The Nomads
From Zero Down
Album US 1985 on Crypt Records label
Alternative (Garage Rock, Punk, Rock’n’Roll)
Here 'tis, at long last a full-length long player chock-fulla primitive, raunchy rockin', most of it in its first airing to the public 'cauz these songs were never released. Mount Airy, North Carolina is a quiet southern town - at least it was until 1965, when four teenage outcasts began rockin' up a torrent of sounds to get the world off their backs, swing with chicks, make some dough and most of all, have fun. The Nomads played all summer at roller rinks, Elks lodges, and a whole slew of bars throughout the upper reaches of North Carolina and southern West Virginia. In March, 1966 they recorde a batch of demo songs at the basement Stark studios. These songs make up most of this album. In summer '66 they recorded and released two songs on a 45; "Nor For Me" and "How Many Times". No big chart action resulted from this 45, and they held off from recording until April 1967, with the release of the awesome "Thouhts Of A Madman"/"From Zero Down" for Tornado Records. The group started to split up in late '67 due to college, Vietnam and jobs. So, we present the full recorded history of one of America's great lost garage punk combos.
