About Me

Check out our semi-acoustic, sorta dumbed down version of Cloud Collision.
The Non - Cloud Collision from The Helium Project on Vimeo .
"The Non's lush, cinematic soundscapes effortlessly flow from sounding like a hundred miles of open road into streets and alleys dimmed by city skyline shadows. If you can imagine that time before a storm - that eerie, tense silence - this is the perfect time to hit play on the band's new CD, 'Paper City.'" - Oklahoma Gazette
"The Non's recently released "Paper City" reflects a coupling of discord and harmony in a way few albums can; it seems to follow a journey, from basking in the comfortable and familiar in "The Love of All Things" to pushing toward unrecognizable and diverse styles in songs such as "Cobra Movement" and "Theft in DFW (Stop It Now)." - Tulsa World
"The Non has an amazing ability to draw you in with their emotion, passion, and creativity to create a truly one-of-a-kind experience…I definitely recommend seeing them live if you have the chance. You will not be disappointed.” – Dylan Raines, DWR
"This one time, i went to see the Non play and I was blind when i went in, but by the time i left i could see! it was a miracle!" - Kyle Reid, music connoisseur
"Zachary Zeller, Mack Hawkins, Wil Norton and Tom Bishop are a four-piece from Edmond that specializes in dropping your jaw. Without being slave to a particular genre, Zach, Mack, Wil and Tom strive to be the best, most versatile musicians they can be, exploring as many areas of music as they can." - Nathan Lofties, NONzine
