Bloc Party – has formed a new band, The None, and announced their new EP ‘Care’.Comprised of Moakes, vocalist Kai Whyte (Blue Ruth, Youth Man), guitarist Jim Beck (Cassels) and drummer Chris Francombe (Frauds), the band have also shared the EP’s lead single ‘On Automatic’, a raucous and rowdy track that features a clanky guitar riff, pounding drums and a deep bass line.

Paired with Whyte’s distinct and edgy vocals, the track feels both fun and uneasy. You can listen to the song on the band’s Bandcamp page here.Speaking about the creation of the song in a press release, the band shared: “There was some uncertainty when we started writing this one.

We thought the main riff might be a bit too ‘jock-rock’. Thankfully Gordon and Chris came up with some interesting parts which changed the feel and helped build tension.

Once Kai added their vocals it quickly became one of our favourites to play live”.A post shared by THE NONE (@the_none_band)‘Care’ is set for release on February 14 and can be pre-ordered here.
