Music Discovery of the Day: THE NONE – Pigs Need Feeding

Taken from debut EP 'MATTER'. In February, a mysterious band named . The None announced a small run of shows in equally small venues, such as London’s Shacklewell Arms and Leeds’ Mabgate Bleach. With no music to their names and next to no information about them online, they showed up to each performance with “no idea if anyone would come,” says guitarist Jim Beck. “But they did,” he explained, “which was amazing.”

All the band had shared online were their names, revealing themselves as members of pre-existing, established acts and citing bands such as Unwound and Shellac as sonic points of reference. The None’s vocalist Kaila Whyte can be recognised from Blue Ruth and Youth Man, while drummer Chris Francombe is best known for his work in Frauds. Then there’s Jim Beck, from brother duo Cassels, and, perhaps most recognisable of the lot is Gordon Moakes, who has played bass in Bloc Party and Young Legionnaire.
