Closing track and fitting finale <i>&#8216;Alive&rsquo;<\/i> shows the band at its best; it is a true punk rock hardcore mix with a good hook and a few ups and downs prior to the searing sing-along finale.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Although the tracks on this EP are not instant winners, <b>5MNON<\/b> do have quite a lot to offer if you are willing to give them a chance.<\/p>\n<p>3.5\/5<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Less Talk, More Action&rsquo;<\/em> by <strong>Five Miles North of Nowhere<\/strong> is out now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Five Miles North of Nowhere<\/strong> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/5MNON\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/5mnon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/5mnon.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tumblr<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/5mnon.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Edward Layland (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EdwardLayland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@EdwardLayland<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes a record needs a little time to begin to work its magic, and for me, this was the case with this punk\/hardcore five piece from the thriving scene in Southampton.
