Non-aggression Pact (abbv. as N.A.P.) is an urban-electro-industrial music group from Tampa, Florida. The band was formed in 1992 by keyboardist/drummer, Jeff Hillard (a.k.a. Chillard) and keyboardist/vocalist Jason Whitcomb. Their music featured an abrasive industrial-dance sound, with funky, grind-hop drum loops overlain by harsh vocals and thought-provoking audio samples from various movies and documentaries. Their lyrics focused mostly on the issues of racism and mass media. N.A.P. released their first album ''Gesticulate'' in 1993 with bassist and pianist Dan Bates on the now defunct General Purpose Cassettes (G.P.C.) label. The electronic music was composed and sequenced with an Ensoniq EPS 16+ digital sampler. Additional sounds were taken from a Roland Juno-106 analog synthesizer. The G.P.C. label usually sold merchandise with unusual packaging, as such, the ''Gesticulate'' CD was a limited-edition release with an aluminum foil cover and screen-printed artwork. The cassette tape version was sold in a metal can. There were two different versions of the CD cover printed. The band's second release was ''9mm Grudge'' in 1994 on the California-based Re-Constriction recording label. It was more guitar driven, however much of it was sampled including a riff from Van Halen appearing in a song. Five years later, ''Broadcast-Quality Belligerence'' was released. This appears to be the band's final commercial release. Newer material was released on their MP3.com page until the site changed formats. ==Discography== *.5 Honkey/Wreckage + Ruin + & + Regrets + () – Cass 1992, all Side A tracks (with Side B feat.
