Nausea were around from 1985 (early line-ups) to 1992. They were one of the few bands in the New York City hardcore/punk scene at the time playing punk/crust while most of the other bands made the trademark NYHC sound popular.
Although they just had one LP and a few 7" singles and compilation tracks out they were really popular among the worldwide crust scene and even managed to tour Europe in 1991.
