<p>KurtStephens: /* Post No Empathy */</p> <hr /> <div>'''No Empathy''' was a Chicago-based punk band started in late 1983 by [[Marc Ruvolo]] (Vocals) and [[Iggy Recinos]] (Bass). The two had met while playing in a short-lived version of [[Gross National Product]] and soon decided to start a band of their own. Shortly after, [[Craig White]] was added on Guitar and [[Chris Russell]] on drums. Their first show was on July 13th, [[1984]] at <br /> a downtown Chicago YMCA. Recinos left the band after three shows and was replaced by Tom Costanzo. Ruvolo became the only constant member over the band’s 13 year run, but the line-up of Ruvolo, [[Martin Geraghty]], [[Chuck Uchida]], [[Steve Gallup]], and [[Kurt Stephens]] is considered the “classic” line-up which recorded most of the band’s output and lasted seven years. In that time, the band shared the stage with many punk legends such as 7 Seconds, Fear, Stiff Little Fingers, Bad Brains, NO FX and Fugazi, plus touring the continental US numerous times. Ruvolo also started [[Johann’s Face Records]] to release No Empathy material, which soon after expanded to release records by other bands such as The Smoking Popes, Alkaline Trio, Apocalypse Hoboken and many more. The label continues today and is approaching 100 releases.<br /> <br /> <br /> No Empathy announced that they are playing a reunion show on April 4, [[2009]] at the 20th Anniversary Show of Johann's Face Records. <br /> <br /> == Post No Empathy ==<br /> <br /> Marc Ruvolo went on to play in the Traitors, and The Atari Star. He currently plays guitar and sings in Das Kapital. Craig White went on to play guitar in Repulse Kava and Seam. Brian Lueck went on to play drums in Hi-Fi and the Road Burners. Chris Russell went on to play drums in The Groove Diggers.<br /> <br /> == Lineups ==<br /> <br /> === Original Lineup ===<br /> <br /> * [[Marc Ruvolo]] - Vocals<br /> * [[Craig White]] - Guitar<br /> * [[Iggy Recinos]] - Bass, later replaced by [[Tom Costanzo]]<br /> * [[Chris Russell]] - Drums<br /> <br /> <br /> === Classic Lineup ===<br /> <br /> * Marc Ruvolo - Vocals<br /> * [[Martin Geraghty]] - Guitar<br /> * [[Chuck Uchida]] - Guitar<br /> * [[Steve Gallup]] - Bass<br /> * [[Kurt Stephens]] - Drums<br /> <br /> <br /> === Other Members ===<br /> <br /> * [[Gary Winters]] - Bass<br /> * [[Brian Lueck]] - Drums<br /> * [[Dwight Small]] - Guitar<br /> <br /> == Releases ==<br /> <br /> * Nothing Less Than Nothing at All LP ([[WalkThruFyre]], [[1987]])<br /> * Freedom of Flesh LP ([[Roadkill Records]], [[1988]])<br /> * Agrippa 7” (Roadkill Records, [[1989]])<br /> * They Want Whatever LP/CD ([[Johann’s Face Records]], 1991)<br /> * You’re So Smart CD/ 7” Box Set (Johann’s Face Records, 1993)<br /> * Split 7”/CD Single with Zoinks!
