The band was formed in 2007 with three members who were all in their individual bands all throughout high school. They got their name from the song “The Coast of Maine” from a band named Ivory which influenced them greatly and kinda’ stuck them together to get down and make their own music. They got a break when they signed on to Fearless Records in late 2007 resulting in them releasing their new album “The Way we Talk”. One of their first music videos “Everything I Ask For”, came out with Lindsey Lohan’s feature film “Labor pains”. They have tours with other bands beginning next year as they make their mark on the music scene along with the 2009 Vans Warped Tour, and event they also participated in 2008.

Lovely Victoria, British Columbia, a charming city on the water visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists each year — perhaps not the place you’d expect to find one of the weirder and smarter punk bands around today. Or perhaps exactly the sort of place you’d expect to find such a band. In any case, it’s the place No Means No calls home. Possibly Canada’s preeminent power trio, No Means No have been abrading delicate ears with their complex rhythm-heavy funk-punk and promulgating leftist social commentary across North America since 1981. That was the year a couple of nice Canadian boys, brothers John and Rob Wright, formally began their strange sonic experiments that fused punk with blues, jazz, funk, metal, and pure noise.

Rhythms and declamatory lyrics dominated their sound, a situation that remains true today after two decades of developing their sound. The Wright brothers added a guitarist — first Andrew Kerr and later Tom Holliston — but the slashing, sometimes bluesy guitar parts have always seemed to work at the service of the band’s complicated rhythms, not the other way around. Rob’s deep chugging bass is usually the biggest sound in the mix and John’s jarring, polyrhythmic drumming is a lot more sophisticated than most of the percussion you hear in rock music. The brothers share vocals, which range from forceful spoken word speak-sing to Jello Biafra-style demented rants, only occasionally approaching anything like melody. Tricky, confrontational music, but if you appreciate it, consistently rewarding.
