Formed in 2025 as a studio project by five friends in the fertile Nottingham DIY underground, No Peeling have rapidly expanded way beyond their initial brief. September 2025’s self-titled EP was the perfect introduction to the No Peeling universe. Bandcamp Daily picked it as an Essential Release, calling it “a clanging collection of get-in-get-out egg punk that doesn’t ask for more than 10 minutes of your time and overdelivers on every front”.

Feel It

***Quicksmart, pacey, short attention span throw-everything-at-the-wall-kaleidoscopic punkin spiels with slice of life extrapolations. 7 songs, 8 minutes, 451 ideas. An EP akin to the cheapskate's old canvas, painted over many times as new ears/limbs/ideas/paint/whatever come into the fold. No messing about, no waiting around, No Peeling.
