"THE NAME NONE OTHER SAYS IT ALL FOR THIS BAND. THERE IS NO BAND AS READY TO BLOW-UP. SMOOTH, TIGHT, AND HIGHLY SPIRITED, THIS BAND HAS THE LOOK, THE ABILITY, AND THE SOUND TO GO PLACES. THEY ARE YOUNG, DRIVEN, AND NOT ONLY ACCEPTED BUT ALSO ANTICIPATED THROUGHOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA. THIS BAND IS MOVING TO THE TOP"- BACKSTAGE PASS MAGAZINE
LEAD SINGER/GUITARIST/SONGWRITER, CLINT WILEY, BEGAN HIS MUSICAL CAREER AT
THE AGE OF NINE, PLAYING GUITAR AND SINGING WITH THE BEETHOVEN BOYS CHOIR
IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. HE WAS WINNING TALENT SHOWS AND ON TELEVISION BY FORTH
GRADE. WHILE PERFORMING IN ROCK BANDS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, HE CONTINUED
TO WORK ON HIS PERFORMING AND SONG WRITING. CLINT ALSO ACTED AND WROTE COMEDY
FOR TELEVISION IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE AND WON "BEST SENSE OF HUMOR"
HIS SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL. FROM 1995-97, HE WROTE AND SANG FOR SEVERAL
NORTH CAROLINA BANDS. WISHING TO START A ROCK BAND, HE MOVED TO FLORIDA IN
1998 AND BEGAN WRITING AND PERFORMING MUSIC THAT WOULD CATCH THE ATTENTION
OF A MUCH LARGER AUDIENCE.
SINCE THE MID-NINETIES, JACOB REID PLAYED WITH VARIOUS BANDS IN THE ATLANTA
MUSIC SCENE, AND WAS A HIRED GUN AT SEVERAL STUDIOS IN THE AREA. FOR YEARS,
JACOB FOCUSED LARGELY ON BLUES, BUT DECIDED TO PURSUE POP AND ROCK WHICH OFFERED
MUCH MORE OPPORTUNITY AND DIVERSITY. WHILE WORKING AS A GUITAR INSTRUCTOR,
JACOB WAS GIVEN A DEMO BY A FRIEND WHO HAD SEEN CLINT PERFORMING IN FLORIDA.
AFTER LISTENING TO CLINT'S MUSIC, JACOB DROVE TO FLORIDA TO AUDITION FOR THE
BAND. AFTER CLINT LISTENED TO NUMEROUS LEAD GUITAR PLAYERS, JACOB WAS CHOSEN
FOR THE POSITION IN THE SPRING OF 1999. ANOTHER BONUS DISCOVERED A FEW MONTHS
LATER WAS JACOB'S TIGHT HARMONY VOCALS.
MIKE THORNTON, A HIGHLY RESPECTED CENTRAL FLORIDA BASS PLAYER, BECAME INTERESTED
IN NONE OTHER OVER A YEAR BEFORE JOINING. MIKE WAS INVOLVED IN A PLETHORA
OF STUDIO WORK, PLAYING STYLES FROM METAL TO "BOY BAND" POP. MIKE
SAID NONE OTHER WAS EXACTLY THE KIND OF BAND HE WAS LOOKING TO JOIN. PLAYING
BASS SINCE HE WAS TEN, THIS POWERFUL ADDITION IS ONE OF THE MOST TASTEFUL
BASSISTS AROUND.
ROB PERRI BECAME THE FINAL MEMBER TO JOIN NONE OTHER. ROB HAD PREVIOUSLY PLAYED
IN A ROCK BAND WHO HAD PERFORMED WITH SUCH ACTS AS SEVENDUST AND EMINEM ON
NATIONAL TELEVISION, AND WAS ANXIOUS TO PLAY WITH A NEW ORIGINAL ROCK ACT.
AFTER CLINT AND JACOB AUDITIONED OVER A DOZEN DRUMMERS, ROB WAS CHOSEN.
NONE OTHER PLAYED 265 SHOWS IN 2002 AND HAS RECORDED FOUR ALBUMS IN THEIR
FOUR-YEAR HISTORY. THEIR LATE ST FOUR-SONG DEMO WAS RECORDED IN OCTOBER 2002
BY PRODUCER COLIN COBB (L.F.O., T.L.C.), CAPTURING A NEW AND MATURE DIRECTION
FOR THE BAND. NONE OTHER’S SONGS HAVE BEEN PLAYED ON MAJOR RADIO STATIONS
IN CENTRAL FLORIDA AND ARE RECEIVING GREAT REVIEWS. IN 2001, NONE OTHER WON
A TELEVISED "BATTLE OF THE BANDS" FOR CENTRAL FLORIDA, AND BECAME
ONE OF TWELVE "BANDS OF THE YEAR" OUT OF HUNDREDS OF ENTRIES ON
THE NUMBER ONE LISTENED-TO STATION IN CENTRAL FLORIDA.

AND MTV-READY" -CONNECTIONS MAGAZINE
