None More Black - Oh, There's Legwork

None More Black is a New Jersey-based punk rock outfit on Fat Wreck Chords, formed by lead singer/guitarist Jason Shevchuk after the demise of his previous band, Philadelphia's Kid Dynamite. Jason left Kid Dynamite so that he could finish film school, and "to sort some things out." While at school, Jason had written some songs and would play them with his roommate Dan Gross and a drum machine. By 2000, they had a second guitarist and a real drummer. That line up soon fell apart, but by 2001 Jason and Dan had recruited Jason's brother Jeff, along with a new drummer. After recording a 7" for Sub Division Records, that line up fell apart, this time leaving only Jeff and Jason. In 2002 (after a few more line-up changes) a solid line up was established, featuring Paul from Kill Your Idols on bass. A demo was recorded, circulated, and the band went on to release three full-lengths and two EPs. Their most recent album, titled "Icons", was released on October 26, 2010 by Fat Wreck Chords.

Their name originates from a line in mockumentary movie This Is Spinal Tap. Several of the band's song titles are references to jokes from the television show Seinfeld.


The track I am going with is Oh, There's Legwork which appears on the EP Loud About Loathing. It is a great catchy song and I have always loved Jason's vocals. This shows them off in a great way.
