THE NO-ONES Bish - Guitar/Vocals Boz - Guitar/Vocals Jimmy Hall - Bass/Backing Vocals DJ Amott - Drums "The No-Ones are a rock monster from Reading...the energy of Green Day with quality songs." -Bull and Gate, Kentish Town, London One might suggest that naming your band THE NO-ONES is merely “tempting fate”. But the Reading based rockers who claim that moniker are well up for showing fate a thing or two. Consider... ~THE NO-ONES formed in December 2009. By February their demo of “Crystalline” was making the rounds on student radio. ~March was devoted to recording their debut EP “Alcoholiday” with the help of esteemed producer John Mitchell (You Me At Six, Enter Shikari, Kids in Glass Houses) and five time Grammy winner Richard Dodd (Johnny Cash, George Harrison, Tom Petty, The Dixie Chicks). ~In April THE NO-ONES made their live debut, supporting legendary rockers The Alarm at Sub 89 in Reading. Currently they are fielding interest from London promoters, venues, and a US record label. The NO-ONES cite their influences as The Foo Fighters, The Wildhearts, Led Zeppelin, Velvet Revolver, and Dinosaur Jr. (to name a few). Proper Rock And Roll is what this band is all about: solid guitar riffs, driving drumbeats, and catchy, charged songs that always go down a treat. Band founders Bish and Boz have been writing and performing music since the age of 14, venturing into Reading first as THE NEW GENERATION in 1999 and later as THE OUTPATIENTS in 2000. After a brief stint as bassist for THE MAKERS, Bish swapped strings for skins and took up drumming for THE SNAGS. Venturing beyond the Home Counties, THE SNAGS toured Europe and the UK extensively, performing in several live TV and radio performances. Before joining forces again with Boz in 2009 to form THE NO-ONES, he played guitar for Reading/Oxford based band THE DYING ANIMALS. In 2000, guitarist Boz became a guitar tech and tour manager for bands including THE YO-YO’S and THE WILDHEARTS, and toured all over the world. He sung vocals on GINGER’S CLAM ABUSE project, and also performed with the band in London. Through a chance meeting at a London studio, he became a live session guitarist with V2 Music’s THE CROCKETTS. During 2000-01 they toured with THE STEREOPHONICS and KID ROCK in the UK and Europe, culminating with performances at Reading/Leeds Festival and Guilfest. Born and raised in Hong Kong, bassist Jimmy Hall started playing with bands on the HK circuit before moving to the UK in 1998. Skilled in both upright bass and bass guitar, Jimmy has been in demand on the music scene here since he passed through immigration. Starting out as the bassist in ANEUBIS in the early 2000s, he joined Reading rock band NOVASTATE in 2003 and later, HEADLOVE in 2006. Still not quite busy enough, Jimmy played bass on STUART MACWELL’s album and live with MEGAN HENWOOD and JIMMY SCREECH. DJ Amott is a 4th generation professional drummer who hails from London and has been playing ever since he can remember. “My dad started teaching me when I was 4, used to have a kit with a brick resting on the bass drum pedal.” He studied professionally under RICHARD BEASLEY (drummer for GARY NEWMAN) and JOE BARBOSA III (from QUEEN ADREENA and CAPE FEAR). He joined punk band ROOKEY in 2002, followed by Reading rock band NOVASTATE the following year. Like fellow band mate Jimmy, he’s enjoyed a lot of time as a studio and session drummer and is currently endorsed by Vic Firth, Paiste, and Mapex. ### THE NO-ONE’S debut EP Alcoholiday will be released globally on 25 May 2010.
