NAUSEA is a crust punk band from New York in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, active from 1985 to 1992. NAUSEA is usually cited as being integral in the rise of crust, d-beat and hardcore, as well a fusion of anarcho-punk and doom-metal styles. Like many anarcho-punk
bands of the period, NAUSEA incorporated both male and female
vocalists. They were involved in the New York City Lower East Side squatting community. Their earlier sound with singers Amy Miret and Neil Robinson was in the vein of traditional hardcore punk.
After Robinson's departure in 1988, he was replaced by Al Long and the
band began to experiment with a darker, heavier sound. Robinson went on
to form the bands Jesus Crust and Final Warning, as well as start "Tribal
War Records".
