Nothing More

Founded in San Antonio in 2003 by drummer Jonny Hawkins and guitarist Mark Vollelunga, Nothing More struggled to make an impact early on. Things started happening when Hawkins decided to switch his drumsticks for the microphone and with the backing of a competent label (Eleven Music) things finally fell into place. The label re-released their self-titled CD ‘Nothing More’ and follow-up ‘The Stories We Tell Ourselves’ (2017) earned two Grammy nominations. High-profile support slots followed for Papa Roach, Ghost and others, paving the way for further success. Nothing More like to take a DIY approach to things and this includes production and artwork as well as instrumental contraptions the likes of which you’ve never seen before. Musically the quartet are difficult to pigeonhole. Elements from hard rock and progressive rock/metal coalesce into a unique sound sprinkled with an inventive hardcore or nu-metal edge without neglecting the melodic side. On their latest full-length ‘Carnal’ they continue their exploration of hard rock and metal with their signature blend of complex instrumentation and introspective lyrics. #GMM25
