History

Apologies, I Have None started off as a two piece drums and guitar band, consisting of Dan Bond and Josh Mckenzie. In 2007 they released their first EP, "Done" which was available on CD and as a free download through the band's website. On 18 March 2009 they released their second EP "Two Sticks and Six Strings". Later on in 2009 they expanded the line up by adding PJ Shepherd on bass and 乔 沃森 on drums.

Apologies, I Have None regularly toured the UK and Europe and in May and June 2011 recorded a new album which was scheduled for release in 2012.

On 19 March 2012, Apologies, I Have None released their debut album London. The band self-released the CD version, with London punk label Household Name Records releasing the vinyl LP. The label also pressed a limited edition white vinyl edition of the LP of which only 75 copies were made. This was later released by Uncle M Music in Germany.
