Send No Flowers (also sometimes written 'Send NØ Flowers') was a British rock band who signed to the East West Records label in 1995, and released their EP Monotony in the same year. In 1996 the band released their debut album Juice, which was produced by Paul Johnson (on the tracks "Sepia" and "Porcelain") and Sank (on all other tracks). The band proceeded to tour with the Juice material, but received lukewarm reception, and were plagued with technical difficulties at several venues. Consequently their label dropped them. Shortly afterwards the band changed it's name to Shineola, but met with limited success.

[edit] History
Send No Flowers debuted as Agent Orange in Plymouth, England in 1992. They had a record deal with the label East West Records and in late 1995 toured with the heavy metal band Skid Row[1]
Their original drummer, Abe Mohsin, was the determining factor for them receiving their record deal, as he introduced them to an old school friend of his, David Futcher, whom at the time worked for the record label 'Phonogram'. Their demo tape 'Uncontrolled' landed on the desk of Dave Thorne of Solid Rock Management, whom subsequently got them their deal, via a series of showcases for major labels.
Abe was unceremoniously booted out of the band for not being as good as Dave Thorne's young Swedish protege, Tomas Broman, but is now a successful Director of an Architectural Practice and the drummer in cowboy surf heroes 'Los Fantasticos'.
In 1995 they changed the name to "Send No Flowers".
