non-aggression pact -lrb- abbv .
as n.a.p. -rrb- is an urban-electro-industrial music group from tampa , florida .
the band was formed in 1992 by keyboardist/drummer , jeff hillard -lrb- a.k.a. chillard -rrb- 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 -lrb- g.p.c. -rrb- 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 .
