Biography
Hailing from the very prominent East Coast ska-punk scene, the No Service Project was born in Pennsylvania's Pocono mountains. Since the birth of the band in late 2001, the NSP have transcended genres of up-beat music and gave new meaning to the word, "energy".
From their early days of raw, in your face punk rock and ska, NSP flooded listeners' ears with catchy dynamics and unfiltered oomph. Currently based out of Philadelphia, the band has matured like the finest of wines. No Service Project has completely reconstructed ska music and blown open the doors of what is possible with rock by soaking it in reggae overtones and decorating it with thought provoking guitar riffs.

The Name
"The name itself has no real standing significance today. It was relevant to the
group's beginning and original three members, myself included. It has since become
simply a title for recognition.
The one part of the name that has strong meaning for me now is the word "project."
As tacky as it may be to have that word in a name, it better describes the purpose
of this group for me.
I really don't like the concept of what a band is or has become over the decades.
While it's cool to be recognized and appreciated for the work you do in life, I feel
it's even more important to have self understanding and a consciousness of your own
creative potential.
To limit such energy solely for the sake of public appeal seems regressive to me. I
feel that creativity should be focused and directed, not molded and compromised.
I enjoy art that I can relate to, not art that tries to relate to me. I create art
to express myself and reflect the outside universe from my personal and
ever-changing perspective. I do not provide a service for consumers."
