None The Less have the sound of a band that is going
to go farm, their new mini album ‘The Way
To Save Ourselves’ is so damn good and don’t
they just know it, they have a hard hitting metal
sound that is very experimental with hard hitting
technical guitar riffs and best of all melodic vocals
which gives them that cross over feel that is going
to see them appeal to a wide generation of music
lovers, from metal heads, to emo boys, to hardcore
lovers and even guitar nerds.
The bands mini album starts with ‘The Payout’
and what a way to start with dual crushing guitars,
a thick bass line, constant banging drums, melodic
vocals from front man Anthony Giannaccini, with
more shouty vocals from Owen Harvey coming and
going every so often, for a song that’s
really big on the instrumental work it’s
interesting to hear the big melodic sing-a-long
chorus that stands out in such a positive way.
The opening guitar work on ‘Define’
is breathtaking and throughout the song the combined
work of the guitars and drumming sounds like an
army of machine guns firing away, the vocals are
melodic throughout the majority of the song but
the break down in the middle of the song features
Owen Harvey shouting his lungs out.
All the tracks on the mini album are really listenable,
‘News Of Cancer’ is a proper rocking
song with some proper angry vocals coming and
going throughout the song. ‘Four 4’s’
is a bog rocking sing-along song where Anthony
Giannaccini’s vocals shine the most, and
the closing track ‘I Feel Like Your Enemy’
is a proper rock and roll anthem, with some of
the best instrumental work these guys have ever
played.
‘The Way To Save Ourselves’ is a
really strong sounding EP, it isn’t the
most original release I have ever heard as the
instrumental work reminds me slightly of other
UK bands in the same genre such as Lavondyss and
Deaf Havana, but it is the main melodic vocals
mixed with the every now and again raw sounding
vocals that makes None The Less stand out from
the crowd.
4.5/5
