'''Nausea''' was an American [[anarchist]] [[crust punk]] band from [[New York City]]'s [[C-Squat]] in the Lower Eastside of Manhattan, active from 1985-1992.
==History==
Like the anarchist band [[Crass]], Nausea used both male and female vocalists. They were involved in the New York City Lower East Side [[squatting]] community. Their earlier sound with singers [[Amy Miret]] and Neil Robinson was in the vein of traditional [[hardcore punk]]. After Robinson's departure in 1988, he was replaced by [[Al Long]] and the band began to experiment with a darker, heavier sound.
Their apocalyptic lyrics and artwork were influenced by the sociopolitical issues of the day, such as the [[Reagan Administration]], the US-USSR [[Cold War]], and threats of [[Nuclear warfare|nuclear war]] with the [[USSR]]. Nausea focused on topics such as [[environmentalism]], [[human extinction]], [[pollution]], [[criticism of Christianity]], and [[animal rights]]<ref>[http://www.nauseapunk.net/interviews_mrr.php Untitled Document<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>. Along with [[Doom (UK band)|Doom]] and [[Amebix]], Nausea broke new ground for the emerging crust punk genre<ref>[http://www.aversionline.com/reviews/2731/ Nausea "The Punk Terrorists Anthology Vol. 2: '85 - '88" CD - AVERSIONLINE.COM<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>, flirting with [[heavy metal]], [[reggae]], [[D-beat]], [[noise rock]] and [[sludge]]<ref>[http://www.alternativetentacles.com/product.php?product=1158 Alternative Tentacles - Store<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>.
Nausea's final line-up was: [[John John Jesse]] (bass), [[Victor Dominicis|Victor Venom]] (guitar, ex-[[Reagan Youth]]), [[Amy Miret]] (vocals), [[Al Long]] (vocals), and [[Roy Mayorga]] (drums). John John Jesse has gone on to become an artist, as well as joining with members of [[Choking Victim]] in the band [[Morning Glory (band)|Morning Glory]]. [[Roy Mayorga]] went on to play with [[Shelter (band)|Shelter]], [[Soulfly]], ABLOOM, [[Stone Sour]], filling in for [[Igor Cavalera]] with [[Sepultura]] in 2006, and drumming for the reunited [[Amebix]].
