Story of Nothing More
Nothing More: From San Antonio Basement to Mainstream Rock Kings
Nothing More, the hard-hitting rock band from San Antonio, Texas, has come a long way since their humble beginnings in 2003. The early years were marked by a constant struggle for stability, with a revolving door of members and a frustrating lack of label interest. However, a pivotal moment arrived when longtime drummer Jonny Hawkins decided to take the reins as frontman, bringing a newfound focus to the band's sound.
This lineup shift, coupled with the arrival of guitarist Mark Vollelunga and bassist Daniel Oliver, solidified the core of Nothing More. They poured their hearts and souls into their fourth album, self-titled "Nothing More," a three-year labor of love funded entirely by the band. The album was their ticket to success, catching the ear of Eleven Seven Music, who signed them to a five-album deal.
"Nothing More" exploded in 2014, launching the band into the mainstream. Singles like "This is the Time (Ballast)," which stormed to the top of the Mediabase Active Rock chart and reached number two on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, became rock anthems. "Mr. MTV," "Jenny," and "Here's to the Heartache" all cracked the top 15 on both charts, solidifying Nothing More's place as a force to be reckoned with.
Riding this wave of momentum, the band hit the road relentlessly, touring in support of their breakout album. In 2017, they released their fifth studio album, "The Stories We Tell Ourselves," their second on a major label. The lead single, "Go to War," surpassed even their previous hits, topping the Mainstream Rock chart. The album garnered critical acclaim, earning them three Grammy nominations for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song, and Best Rock Performance for "Go to War."
Nothing More continued to dominate the rock scene, releasing singles like "Do You Really Want It" and "Just Say When" and embarking on numerous North American tours. In 2022, they released their sixth studio album, "Spirits," cementing their status as one of the most powerful and relevant rock bands of the 21st century.
From their San Antonio basement beginnings to headlining stages across the globe, Nothing More's story is a testament to hard work, perseverance, and a whole lot of rock 'n' roll heart. Their music, fuelled by Hawkins' powerful vocals and Vollelunga's blistering guitar work, continues to connect with audiences worldwide, proving that the band is truly nothing less than a force to be reckoned with.
