Nastasee was a hardcore band formed in New Jersey, by former Mucky Pup, Dog Eat Dog, Murphy's Law, Non-Fiction and #9 guitar player, Dan Nastasi.

Nastasee began when Dan Nastasi left the band #9, that he had formed with his former Non-Fiction bandmates. The first album, Trim The Fat, was released in 1996, by SPV Records. The album was released exclusively in Europe due to the popularity of his previous bands in the continent. The album featured contributions from former Mucky Pup bandmates, Chris Milnes and John Milnes. Four European tour runs featuring members of both Dog Eat Dog and Mucky Pup, followed in support of the album.

Due to the good response that the album received, the label had Nastasee begin work on the followup immediately. Once again, Mucky Pup members, such as John Milnes, would make contributions. In 1998, SPV Records were set to release the second Nastasee album, Ule Tide. While on another European tour with the band Shelter, to support the upcoming Ule Tide album, Nastasi was informed by the label that due to cost cutting and their attempt to become a major label, SPV Records would not be releasing the Ule Tide after all. As a result, Dan Nastasi decided to end the band. Ule Tide was made available through mailorders and promotional copies only. Those copies continue to be circulated through websites such as eBay and Amazon.com.

Soon after the breakup of the band, Nastasi joined with former Mucky Pup and Dog Eat Dog bandmates, John Milnes, Dave Neabore & Sean Kilkenny, to become All Boro Kings. All Boro Kings released one album, Just For The Fun Of It, in Europe. The band played most of their shows in and around New Jersey before embarking on one European tour with Biohazard, Agnostic Front, Hatebreed, Discipline, Death Threat and Born From Pain, as part of the EastPak sponsored Resistance Tour. After six years or so, the All Boro Kings project also ended. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
