But don’t take our word or track history on it, take a listen and read through the reviews below, pouring in from around the world:

 “Let me open by saying I’M BLOWN AWAY !  Starting with “This Is The Time (Ballast)” I was hooked… Made me think that Gavin Rossdale (Bush) and Geddy Lee (Rush) merged to become the singer… In summary no filler.”  – Randy Lennox – CEO, Universal Music (Canada)

“It’s rare for me to play something out of the box that hasn’t been released, however when I heard Nothing More, I knew I had to be the first to play them!” – Nikki Sixx, Host – Sixx Sense Radio (Syndicated on over 100 radio stations, 7pm-midnight) (USA)

“Nothing More’s brand new sensitivity and style make any comparisons with the past irrelevant.  Their crawling heaviness and beautiful melodies match perfectly, as if to announce the arrival of a new era of rock music scene. Everything about Nothing More is revolutionary! “ – Masa Itoh, (Power Rock Today/ FM Fuji, Rock City/TVK TV) (Japan)

“It’s easy to pick up on—and become engrossed with—the commercial aspects of Nothing More: the climactic choruses, the quasi-emo song titles, the melodies that seep into your ears like honey gliding down a sore throat. That’s just tapping the surface. The bigger picture is singer Jonny Hawkins’ sometimes desperate vocals soaring against a far-flung backdrop that takes cues from disparate sources like Korn, Linkin Park, the Mars Volta, Incubus and Karnivool. The band’s jagged, compelling rhythms and celestial ambience is bracketed by the group’s adventurous spirit and well-deserved confidence. Despite being quite young, Nothing More bears the hallmarks of very old musical souls.” – Christa Titus, Billboard (USA)

“At a time when so many bands seem to stand for so little, Nothing More feel like a genuine breath of fresh air.  Hard rocking, profoundly compelling and ferociously intelligent, expect big things from this lot in the very near future.” – Tom Doyle, Thrash Hits (UK)

“With technical precision bone-crushing riffs and undeniable songs, Nothing More deliver THE ‘Hard Rock Album of the Year’! A band who’s skills belie their young age, Nothing More possess that rare combination of hard edgy progressive rock and accessibility which very few young or even established bands have. From the first blast to the last, the album never disappoints  First single “This Is The Time (ballast)” is already off to a great start and performing like a future #1 Rock Song should and I guarantee the album will do the same on June 24^th.” – Bob Morelli, CEO RED, a division of SONY Music (USA)

“Nothing More is one of those few bands that stops you in your tracks for a second, third and fourth look. They have the entire package of talent, content, meaning and let’s not forget…entertainment. I’m excited for them.” – Kevin Churko, Producer (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, In This Moment) (Canada)

“Nothing More are a breath of fresh air to the rock scene. Their style is unique, hard-hitting and up to date – perfect for everybody who is into modern song-orientated rock music.” – Thorsten Zahn, Publisher, Metal Hammer (Germany)
