Music That Infects Your Soul With Rock-n-Roll
author: Jay Smith
"As Long as The Light Remains", is a fantastic follow up to their self-titled debut CD. There are so many tracks that I want to tell you about, but instead I'll talk about all of them in general. These songs are addictive. I almost have to force myself to listen to other stuff, because the CD is seriously that good. There is so much raw emotion in the lyrics and it is heightened by the talent in their playing. The third track on the record has a bass line that would rival any song by RUSH. These guys say their music is like RADIOHEAD and PEDRO THE LION, but trust me those two groups don't have a song or album as good as SOME OF NONE!

"As long as the light remains" is a significant maturation from Some of None's rookie effort. Clean production and tight performances lock down a fluid and emotive (yet not emo) sophomore album. At first listen the dual vocalist style and stomp box friendly guitars reminded me of Sloan's first album. Additional spins reveal flashes of My Bloody Valentine and Doves. Some of None maintains their own sense of self throughout the disc- the opening track would make for a great radio single but weighs well over the traditional 3 minutes needed to satisfy traditional radio pukes. Moody and dark without being pouty pricks about it- Some of None are an act worth paying attention to.
