THE NONE is a new band of lifelong musicians. Comprising bassist Gordon Moakes (Bloc Party, Young Legionnaire), vocalist Kai Whyte (Blue Ruth, Youth Man), guitarist Jim Beck (Cassels) and drummer Chris Francombe (Frauds), they make an uncompromising vision of noise rock with melody at its heart.

The band formed at the start of 2023 and bonded over hours in the rehearsal room – making noise, discussing shared obsessions, and, most importantly, playing together. 

The anonymity of their name reflects a creative approach which favours egoless experimentation and open collaboration. This ethos, the combined decades of music making, and the unique musical identities of all four members can be clearly heard in the art they create.

Following their debut shows in February 2024, THE NONE have quickly built a reputation as a formidable live band – racking up shows with the likes of Mannequin Pussy, Les Savy Fav and Dream Wife, as well as sold out shows of their own and a string of festival appearances. They are now gearing up to support METZ on their final ever tour, before capping off the year supporting Big Joanie.

The band released their debut EP, MATTER, in August 2024, exclusively on Bandcamp. Fans of Shellac, The Jesus Lizard, Silverfish and Unwound will likely find plenty to enjoy. They will be releasing new music and touring extensively in 2025.
