Nothing More came out of San Antonio, Texas, and spent the better part of the 2000s grinding it out the hard way: indie records, a revolving cast of players, and no label biting. The fix turned out to be sitting behind the drum kit. Jonny Hawkins, the band's longtime drummer, stepped out front to sing, and with Mark Vollelunga on guitar and Daniel Oliver on bass the core finally locked into place.
They paid for their self-titled record themselves and took about three years to make it, and that album is what got Eleven Seven Music to sign them. Released in 2014, Nothing More was the breakout, an alternative metal record that swings from riff-heavy bluster to big, wounded choruses, with "This Is the Time (Ballast)", "Jenny" and "Mr. MTV" carrying it onto rock radio. Hawkins sings like he's arguing with himself, and the band keeps the grooves tight and jagged underneath him.
The Stories We Tell Ourselves followed in 2017, with Ben Anderson now on drums, and its lead single "Go to War" hit harder than anything they'd put out before. The album brought them three Grammy nominations, for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance. Spirits and Carnal have kept the story going since.
