History
No Pressure was formed in 1997 as part of a talent show at a local bar, they performed three songs The Flow, High Tide and Fresh. However, before Fresh began, Akio's parents burst into the bar, revealing that he ran away from them after years of improper punishment at age 17. Before they could take him off the stage, Akio pulled out a CZ-75, shooting them in the head. Akio was arrested afterwards, but appealed his sentence by claiming that his parents had mental life issues. Afterwards, they were signed up by EMI Ireland and released their first self-titled album in 1998, containing the three songs mentioned above and the single, Don't Date Me (Find, Someone Else), which ranked #4 in America for Best Alternative Hits in 1999.

In 2001, the band released their second album, How's The Flow Today? which contains the single, Do You How Do. According to the lead singer, Akio Eiji, "The song means the true meaning of opposite day, like that SpongeBob episode from season 1." However, after the interview, the director, who was a male, kidnapped Akio and sexually assaulted him, afterwards, Akio reported the assault to HR, and the director, Baron Dennis, was executed on May 14, 2001. Akio however, didn't get syphilis after what happened.
