Defunct Toronto hardcore band No Warning have announced they will make a brief reunion to release a new 7".
The 7", which will be released through frontman Ben Cook's own Bad Actors Inc. label, will feature a brand new single entitled "Resurrection of the Wolf", backed with an unannounced cover on the b-side. Recorded at DNA Studios with Chris Tedesco and Steve Chahley, the 7" will be the first new music from the band since 2004 album 'Suffer, Survive'.
Concerning the reasons for reuniting to release the 7", Cook had the following to say to Canada's Exclaim!:
"An old member has found himself in a difficult and very serious situation and we want to help him and his family financially. We are all still very tight with each other so getting together for this was very easy for us."
However, don't hold your breath for any future plans beyond the release - Cook stresses that the reunion will likely be a one-off affair:
"I have no interest playing live. I don't want dudes yelling in my face or jumping on me. I like creating music with these cats, and that's that. We've been offered lots of money to get back together. Maybe it's selfish of me to decline all these offers based on those reasons, but this band was a very special thing to us at one point. Getting back together for bills like everyone is doing now is cheap and I think it's corny ... No disrespect to bands who choose to do so, just not my vibe."
The release date of the 7" is yet to be announced. No Warning originally broke up back in 2005. Cook now plays guitar in Fucked Up, while guitarist Jordan Posner now plays in Terror.
