Press Reviews Page 7, The Lowell Connector. April 9th, 2002. Title - "No One's Kind Is A Shouldn't Miss" By Bill Mueller ... "With a lot of the garbage that gets thrown out through the airwaves and pumped out of our radios or MTV on a regular basis, one starts to feel a sense that true musicality is beginning to die. But it always seems that there is a band or two that comes out that changes that, and although this band may not get tons and tons of radio play and their videos are only played on MTV at 3 in the morning, they give us a sense that there are still bands out there that actually care about the music. Such a band that is beginning to make a name for itself in the Boston hardcore underground scene is No One's Kind. Don't be fooled however, they are not hardcore in the sense that they just get up on stage with blaring guitars and screaming vocals. Their music will take you on a ride through hardcore, funk, rock, and punk. If you had to pick a band that sounded like No One's Kind it would be impossible, instead you'd have to grab bands from different types of genres. To me, No One's Kind is a mixture of Sevendust, Staind, Deftones, Tool, and Tree. You combine all these bands and there is no way you can go wrong. The great thing about No One's Kind is that they don't sound exactly like these bands, because they add their own flavor to the mix as well. Each member of the 5 piece band brings to the plate an eclectic array of sounds. Drummer Rob Wu and bassist Pat Scott (both sound recording majors here at Umass Lowell) combine to give us the grooves that make us bounce our heads to every song they play. Pat's background in rock, jazz, and even classical, shows in his catchy and pulse beating rhythms. Rob is definitely one of the finest drummers I have seen play in a really long time, no questions asked. Guitarists Jay Beliveau and Jon Mitchell will both blow you away with their wall to wall crunching sound. Both play off each other extremely well, which makes the music flow effortlessly and just leaves you pumping your fists for more. Dan Cooper rounds off the band on vocals. Dan adds the melody to the "madness" that is going on behind him, his voice fits perfectly with the band and he feeds off their energy to give the audience a great show. Anyone who has read my articles knows that I can't talk about a band without mentioning the amount of emotion they put into their music. To me, this is one of the most important aspects of live music that a lot of bands forget about. A No One's Kind show however is all about emotion. In all honesty, I haven't seen a band put out as much emotion as these guys do. I'd compare it to a System of a Down show. From the first beat of the first song to the last hit in the last song, the energy is non-stop. These guys put every last drop of sweat into every song they play. Their on-stage antics fit perfectly with the music they play, for the music is just as full of emotion and energy as the guys are. Cooper puts his heart and soul into every word he sings, and the rest of the band follows him. No One's Kind. Remember that name for there is a good chance you're going to be hearing about them in the future. In my opinion, this band has everything they need to make it big and they will do it through their music and nothing else. If you have the chance to see these guys, definitely go see them. I promise you wont be disappointed. Check them out on the web at www.nooneskind.com"
