Nothing

Philly purveyors of heavy shoegaze Nothing are back in February with new album "A Short History of Decay."  Check out the very My Bloody Valentine indebted first single "Cannibal World" below and pre-order the LP here from Run For Cover Records.

Full of Hell and Nothing

I've got to say that i was not expecting to see a collaboration between Maryland grindcore metal band Full of Hell and Philly heavy shoegaze band Nothing on the table today, but here we are with the upcoming "When No Birds Sang."  Our first taste is the album closing "Spend the Grace," which throws in some elements of grunge, black metal, and more into the already cacophonous mix.  Check it out below and pre-order the LP here from Closed Casket Activities.

Nothing Covers Delfonics

Philly shoegazers Nothing are set to release their "The Great Dismal B-Sides" EP next month, and they've shared the video for their cover of the Delfonics classic "La La Means I Love You."  It's great.  Check it out below and pre-order the record here from Relapse.

Nothing

Last October, Philly shoegaze band Nothing released their latest full-length, "The Great Dismal."  This October, they're following it up with an EP of B-sides from that album called, appropriately enough, "The Great Dismal B-Sides."  Check out the beautiful, string-laden "Ambler Gambler" below and pre-order the record here from Relapse.

Nothing

We are getting loads of great new music at the end of October, and the hits keep coming.  Noisy Philly shoegaze band Nothing have joined the fray with their latest, "The Great Dismal," dropping on October 30th via Relapse.  Check out "Say Less" below and pre-order the record here.

Nothing cover Silver Jews

A few days ago, we lost David Berman, and Philly shoegaze act Nothing were compelled to cover a classic Silver Jews track as a tribute.  Check out their take on "We Are Real" below.

SXSW 2019 Day 2 Pics

Back on my bullshit again.  I split my time between Cheer Up Charlie's and Mohawk for a bevy of great music today.  Some highlights included Disq, Morabeza Tobacco (their very first show ever), Sorry Girls, Jess Williamson, Priests (as always), and the cheaper Lone Star.  Here's a few pics...

Nothing cover Grouper

Aside from playing a few shows in Austin next month at SXSW, Philly shoegaze band Nothing also have a record of B-sides and rarities headed our way called "Spirit of the Stairs."  The record includes some demos, live takes, and a few covers.  One of those covers is of Grouper's beautiful 2008 track "Heavy Water/I'd Rather Be Sleeping."  Check it out below get the record from Relapse.

Nothing

Hey, Nothing has a new album of shoegazey metal coming out this August.  Watch the video for moody first single "Zero Day" below and pre-order the upcoming "Dance on the Blacktop" LP here from Relapse.

Nothing

Hey, it looks like we've got some new music from Philly shoegaze band Nothing in our near future.  "Tired of Tomorrow" is due in May on Relapse, but you can listen to first taste "Vertigo Flowers" below.  It sure is shoegazey.

Nothing cover Nirvana

Last year on Record Store Day, Robotic Empire Records released a tribute to Nirvana's "In Utero" featuring a whole slew of great artists (Thou!).  This year, the label is releasing "Whatever Nevermind," a tribute to the band's 1991 breakout album "Nevermind," also on Record Store Day, and also featuring a bunch of great bands.  Take a listen to Nothing's haunting and desperate take on "Something in the Way" below and be on the lookout for the record next weekend.

New music from Nothing and Whirr

San Francisco shoegaze acts Nothing and Whirr share a member in Nick Bassett, and the two groups now have a split 12" coming out later this month on Run For Cover.  I'm stoked.  Take a listen to Nothing contribution "July the Fourth" below.

Whirr

Here's a new one from San Francisco heavy shoegaze band Whirr.  The driving and pounding "Heavy" comes from new album "Sway," due in September on Graveface Records.  It's noisy, reverby music to my ears.  Listen below.

On a side note, i did not realize that Nothing's Nick Bassett was the main man behind Whirr.  That explains a lot.

SXSW 2014, Day 3

Thoughts, prayers, and love to all the people, family, and friends of those affected by the tragic car accident last night.  A general somberness hung over the duration of the day's shows and everyone was just a little bit nicer to each other today.

Here's a few pics from the day...

Nothing

Philadelphia's shoegazing, post rock, metal-heads Nothing released their "Guilty of Everything" LP today on Relapse.  Do yourselves a favor and pick it up.  In the meanwhile, listen to the sprawling, reverb-drenched noise of "Endlessly" below.

New music from Nothing

Last year, shoegaze purveyors Nothing released an excellent EP, "Downward Years to Come."  The band is following that up with a new full-length, "Guilty of Everything," on Relapse Records coming out early next year.  Listen to the first cut from that album below.  "Dig" is a swirling wall of beautiful noise, and should be played as loud as humanly possible.
