Welcome

This is for all the punks who were there back then – and for all those still making it happen.

Welcome to the so-not-new-anymore-it's-actually-pretty-old NCFC site! Works pretty much like the old one except it looks cooler and isn't in frames any more (like you give a shit). More importantly, this version will also have current news stories on this page - although no promises about their timeliness since this really is mainly an archive of "No Cause for Concern?" fanzine, pubished in 1982-1984.

Thanks for visiting.

John Stabb was interviewed by N.C.F.C. in December 1983 [read it here] and it seemed appropriate to talk to him again nearly 27 years later on the eve of his band's reunion taking place December 11, 2010, in D.C.
