Band History

None Left Standing (MySpace)

None Left Standing was an early 90's hardcore / emo band from Madison, Wisconsin. Formed from the ashes of the sXe, political hardcore band Business As Ususal and the math-metal Natural Cause, NLS put out a demo, a seven-inch, a full-length LP and was featured on a number of comps, including "XXX, Some Ideas are Poisonous" on Ebullition records. They toured the Midwest and east coast playing with bands such as Avail, Ashes, Lincoln, Hoover, Strife, Shelter, Cap'n Jazz, Rancid, Ordination of Aaron and Current, among many others. After the release of the "Stingray Candy 100's" LP (a reference to a candy cigarette), the group disbanded and members went on to form The Promise Ring and Paris, Texas. Today most of the members are graphic designers living in various parts of the country, and some are still playing music.

The following was taken from a deleted Wikipedia entry for None Left Standing:

None Left Standing was an early 90's hardcore punk/emo band from Madison, Wisconsin. Often sighted among the first bands of the emo genre, None Left Standing took influence from the D.C. post-hardcore groups Fugazi, Embrace, Rites of Spring and Jawbox as well as contemporaries Falling Forward, Gauge and Lincoln.

Starting with the core of the disbanded sXe "Business As Usual", Tim Burton, Matthew Mangan and Jason Gnewikow (The Promise Ring) joined with Nathan Greer forming None Left Standing to continue with musical growth and a conscious message. Dynamic music, explosive live shows and a cassette demo earned None Left Standing an underground reputation as "the band to see", even though a limited East-Coast tour was all they had under their belt. Just as the 7-inch record "Laura" was being released, Nathan was replaced with Patrick Hotlen. None Left Standing toured the East-Coast again playing shows to welcoming crowds of dedicated hardcore fans. While on this tour they were invited to perform at the famed "More The Music Fest II" in Dayton, OH, with such noteable bands as Avail, Split Lip (Chamberlain), and The Delta 72. None Left Standing recorded the "Stingray Candy 100" CD/LP in the Winter of 1995 and played their final show to a large host of friends at "The Whole" in Minneapolis,MN. Bootleg videos and tape trading continues for this gone but not forgotten band from Wisconsin.
