Music had turned into a corporate nightmare during the 70's . Disco turned the masses into weak sheep. Rock retreated to the underground, barely visible. The loss of rock to a commercial machine was bothersome, but not debilatating to Dave Corboy. While the years in art school passed, Corboy had been writing songs. These songs would become the basic ground work for a new band which was to emerge out of the Portland underground scene.
In 1978 Sado-Nation was formed by David Corboy in Portland, Oregon. The sadistic nature of the nation's leaders, and the people who let themselves be guided into a soul-less commercial society, was the inspiration for this new band's name.
The music would reflect the disgust Corboy felt for these people and their greed driven culture.

GTA061 SADO-NATION "Future Past,Present,Tense" CD
Ferocious yet tuneful early 80s female fronted punk from Portland Oregon, this band was more than a mere
footnote in the early US hardcore scene.
Started in 1978 by 60s music veteran David Corboy, he named the band Sado-nation in reaction to what he
viewed as a soulless consumer culture ruled by cruel sadistic leaders.
Included on this extended play disc is their debut 1980 7" and previously unreleased 1980 "Disruptive Pattern" LP session
with original vocalist Leesa Nation (of the early all girl Portland punk group the Braphsmears),and following
her exit the 1982 "We're Not Equal"LP, 1999 and 2002 studio tracks, and 1983 live cuts all with vocalist Mish Bondage (another ex
member of the Braphsmears).
Mish added a new harder edge to the band and could physically as well as vocally hold her own against her male
counterparts from the same era of US hardcore punk, helping to blaze the trail for outspoken defiant women in
underground music.
This release comes complete with a beautifully designed 16 page booklet chronicling the history and recordings
of the band. A long time in the works,a quintessential collection from the early days of American hardcore and a
group still going strong today.

The year 1977 saw some great bands break onto the scene. A small group of individuals had been waiting for an event such as this to happen. Portland's few bands quickly picked up on the energy and angst that these bands had exhibited in their music. This was the birth of the Punk Rock scene in Portland, Oregon.
Mark Sten, John Shirley and others began putting shows on around town. It was at one of these shows that Corboy saw Shirley perform with Terror Wrist. This band broke up and John started The Monitors. Shirley and Corboy both worked for the Oregonian, Portland's daily naper. Corboy approached John at work one day and asked if he was interested in hearing some songs that Corboy had written. The two set a time to play and Mark Sten played drums and Dave Propp, bass. Corboy wanted to call the new group Sado-Nation.
Sado-Nation had become an offical band in 1978.
Though the band has had a few different members over the years, Sado-Nation's mainstays have been Mish Bondage and David Corboy who are widely considered to be Portland's founding punk godparents.
Mish Bondage is a Portland native. She met Jerry A (Poison Idea) in 1979, when she was just 15, attending her first shows; the Styphnoids, Wipers and Sado-Nation. She was deeply affected, and the following year, Mish, Suzy Quaalude, Amy Nitrate, Leesa Nation and Angie formed the first all girl hardcore band in Portland, The Braphsmears, where Mish would play bass for half the set and sing for the other half. People either worshipped them or hated them and they frequently experienced an ashtray or partially consumed pitcher of beer flying in their direction.
As one of the few early leading female forces in the hardcore scene, Mish was recruited from The Braphsmears to become the singer for Sado-Nation in 1982. Others took notice, too. In 1984, she was named female vocalist of the year by Flipside, and to this day, she's a powerful presence: her words are layered with meaning, and her stage antics frighten and thrills audiences. Mish prowls across the stage firing out words at rapid speed.
Mish had moved to Los Angeles in 1984 in a quest to expand her experiences in the music world.
David Corboy's vitae is equally awesome. He started playing guitar when he was only 9 and in 1963(!) formed his first rock band. The following year, he became the rhythm guitarist for The Avengers, and went on to play in other bands including Differentiated Concepts, Road Runners, and in 1967, joined the to be popular contemporary rock band, The Just Six. At the height of their career, in 1968, they were on Dick Clark's Happening '68 a teen music showcase!
David went on to play in many other bands in various musical syles from blues-rock to glam, to eventually, punk rock, and while in art school in the 70's he wrote a lot of songs that would become the foundation of the first incarnation of Sado-Nation.
