None The Less are a 5-piece "Metal n Roll" band from Watford, UK, who formed in 2007 and split in 2010.
The band consisted of Ant Giannaccini on vocals, Owen Harvey on guitar/screams, Joe Page on guitar, Oli Stanton on bass, and Mike Smith on drums. They constantly toured the United Kingdom, including a tour with Young Guns, playing hundreds of shows and festivals to date, and releasing two singles for free - Define, and Bitter Taste. Both singles had videos produced by Lawrence Hardy, who had previously worked with Enter Shikari, You Me At Six and We Are The Ocean, and the videos can be seen on their YouTube page.
In 2010, the band recorded 'Time, the Healer' with Dan Lancaster at Glasseye Studios in Hatfield. The album was due to be released in March 2011, but due to the split, it is unknown whether/how it will be released.
On the live circuit, the band supported bands such as Enter Shikari, In Case of Fire and played festivals such as the Download Festival (2009), the Camden Crawl and the Underage Festival (2008).
None the Less played their final gig to a sold-out Watford Railway Club on the evening of Wednesday 28th December 2010. They were supported by Lecarla, Kill the Weekend, Polaris and Praden. The band stated on their Facebook page that this was not the last time they would be writing and playing music together.

Shattered
None The Less Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All alone while she breathes
She can't concentrate
She's so busy
She doesn't have
She's so beautiful
He tries
She thinks he lies
Why is the little shatter in her eyes?
To him he has the greatest prize on earth
She feels so lucky
But he's the luckiest guy in the universe
She doesn't realize
What you've came to see
The prize inside
Painful to be me
Just to hear her say
She finds the prize inside her
Want things
Tells me
To change
She still thinks he's lying
Wish you could find a person to prove that he is not a lire
Why is the little shatter in her eyes?
To him he has the greatest prize on earth
She feels so lucky
But he's the luckiest guy in the universe
Lets go!
Why is the little shatter in her eyes?
To him he has the greatest prize on earth
She feels so lucky
But he's the luckiest guy in the universe
Why is the little shatter in her eyes?
To him he has the greatest prize on earth
She feels so lucky
But he's the luckiest guy in the universe
Why is the little shatter in her eyes?
To me she is the greatest prize on earth
She feels so lucky
But he's the luckiest guy in the universe
The lyrics of None The Less's song Shattered communicate a situation in which a woman is experiencing internal turmoil despite her outer beauty. She is unable to focus on anything around her, and she doesn't have any sense of her value. Even though she has a man who is trying to reassure her of her worth, she remains unconvinced and thinks that he is lying to her. The singer of the song asks why there is a little shatter in her eyes, indicating that something inside of her is broken, and she cannot see her own worth.
The song conveys the confusing and challenging journey a person goes through to find self-worth, and how it can be difficult to trust others who see value in you when you don't see it yourself. Often the people who love us try to convince us of our worth, but it's ultimately up to us to believe it. The lyrics reflect on the idea that it's not about finding someone to prove that others are lying about our worth, but instead, it's about finding the confidence to believe in ourselves.
