No Picnic is rock at its most spontaneous. No Picnic loves rock from all eras of rockdom. No Picnic firmly believes in creating rock that people can rock to, as well as rock that people can relate to, as well as rock that people can relish. When listening to a No Picnic song one might be able to pick out pieces of punk rock like The Ramones, MxPx or Green Day, just as easily as one might hear some jagged hard rock fury influenced by the likes of Blindside or Metallica. A middle-of-the-road band like Weezer serves as the influential anchor to rein in all the unbridled, raw creativity which if left unchecked, would surely destroy the world. No Picnic is something for everybody. No Picnic is rock for the common man.
