April, 1982. Ottawa, Canada. Three punk/hardcore fans decide to start a fanzine. We call it "No Cause For Concern?"
Before the net, before P.C.s, before the local press would touch alternative music, and before the underground sold out to corporate grunge, NCFC galvanized, lauded, created a forum for, and frequently pissed off Ottawa's alternative population. Nine issues came out of my house between April 1982 and June 1984 which reflected the pulsating, political, and intensely creative scene that throve in Ottawa and the rest of North America in the early '80s.
I put this site together to share those issues with the people who missed out, but especially for those who were there: the bands, the fans, the promoters and club owners who made it such a blast.
