BOOTH DOES NOT INCLUDE ADMISSION---LIMITED SEATED SHOW
There are a lot of bands who claim to wear their hearts on their sleeves, but for Texan quartet Nothing More
that sentiment could scarcely be more literal. “When we first started, we branded ourselves on the arm after
each year of touring, so we’ve all got these scars now, reminding us of the commitment we made to each
other,” confides frontman Jonny Hawkins. To say that this is a band who are dedicated to their cause would
be to understate the case somewhat.

Hailing from San Antonio, Nothing More is a four-headed musical hydra that runs on frenetic passion,
unswerving DIY spirit and relentless sonic experimentation. Part schizoid System Of A Down weird-isms,
part Mars Volta-esque prog rock freak out, part effortless pop nous, they seamlessly barrel from churning
headbang to skyscraping chorus and back again in the blink of an eye. Capable of bombastic bounce that hits
as hard as an uppercut to the jaw
when they fancy it, the boys from The Alamo City are equally able to dial
down their bluster into deft moments of crystalline beauty when the mood takes them. It's a gut-punching
blend made all the more powerful by a keen lyrical sophistication and philosophical undertone which both
belies their years and marks them out from their contemporaries.
