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]]. ==Members== *Al - vocals (1988-1992) *Amy Miret - vocals *[[Victor Dominicis|Victor]] - guitar *John - guitar *[[Roy Mayorga]] - drums (1989-1992) ===Previous members=== *Neil - vocals (1985-1988) *Pablo Jacobson - drums (1985-1987) *Jimmy Williams - drums (1987-1988) ==Discography== ===Official releases=== *''[[Nausea (album)|Nausea]]'' demo (self released, 1988) *''[[Extinction (album)|Extinction]]'' [[LP album|LP]]/[[Compact cassette|Cassette]] (1990, [[Profane Existence]]/[[Meantime Records]]) *''[[Cybergod]]'' [[7"]] ([[Allied Recordings]], 1991) *''[[Lie Cycle]]'' 7" ([[Graven Image Records]]/ Skuld Records, 1992) *''Alive in Holland'' [[VHS]] (Channel Zero Reality/Profane Existence, 1993) *''Extinction: The Second Coming'' CD (Selfless Records, 1993) *''Punk Terrorist Anthology Vol. 1'' 2xLP/CD (2004, Alternative Tentacles/[[Blacknoise Records]]) *''Punk Terrorist Anthology Vol. 2'' 2XLP/CD (2005, Hellbent/Blacknoise) ===Compilation appearances=== *''[[New York Hardcore: The Way It Is]]'' LP ([[Revelation Records]], 1988) *''Squat or Rot Volume. 1'' 7" (Squat or Rot Records, 1989) *''[[They Don't Get Paid, They Don't Get Laid, But Boy Do They Work Hard]]'' LP ([[Maximum Rock'n'Roll]], 1989) *''[[Murders Among Us]]'' 7" ([[Vermiform Records]], 1990) *''[[More Songs About Plants and Trees]]'' 7" (Allied, 1991) *''Discharged: From Home Front to War Front'' 7" (Allied, 1992) ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== *[http://www.nauseapunk.net/ Official Nausea website] [[Category:1980s music groups]] [[Category:1990s music groups]] [[Category:Anarcho-punk bands]] [[Category:Crust and d-beat groups]] [[Category:Punk rock groups]] [[Category:Musical groups established in 1985]] [[Category:Musical groups disestablished in 1992]] [[nap:Nausea (gruppo musecale)]]
