Not a week goes by without an album release or song premiere from a fresh-faced band described by publicists and bloggers in comparison with some inactive or recently reunited '90s alt act they most resemble. So evident is the impairment--or, less kindly, the failure--of modern rock music that contemporary artists flop around in the swingin' sounds of yesteryear in the hopes of absorbing some of its spent mojo...

Nothing - Guilty Of Everything
"If you don't enjoy 'Guilty Of Everything', there's nothing left for us to offer you."
Posted Thursday, 20 March 2014 in ,
Rating: 9 The Holy Grail for any band is to create a sound that both defines you, but in itself is indefinable. For Philadelphia-based Nothing, they've pretty much nailed it on their first attempt...

Release Date: March 4, 2014 There has been quite a bit of discussion about Nothing's lead singer, Dominic Palermo, being imprisoned for fucking stabbing a guy. He went to jail! He was in jail for a while! For stabbing someone! That's crazy; that's real shit. Much more real than me sitting here discussing his band's shoegaze-y, fuzzy doom-y pop music. While it may be loud and slathered in dark gray overtones, nothing I say will be as real as the fact that this dude stabbed a guy...

Relapse Records is a metal label. You know that. I know that. I only bring it up because it's going to frame a great deal of the discussion surrounding recent signee Nothing's debut LP Guilty of Everything, which might be unusually heavy dream-pop, billowy alt-rock, or blustery shoegaze, but it is definitely not metal...

Lots of bands have picked up the shoegaze ball and run with it since the original bands flamed out in the early '90s. Not too many of them can say their guiding force spent time in prison for attempted murder or that their debut album was released by the resolutely metal label Relapse. Not too many of them ever released an album as good as Nothing have here, and 2014's Guilty of Everything is a truly impressive debut...

Throughout the last few years, a number of new acts have been shaping a compelling resurgence of the Shoegaze and Dream Pop that spawned in the latter half of the 80s and into the early 90s. Standouts amongst this affair include Merchandise, No Joy, Technicolor Teeth, Whirr, Tamaryn, Nights, and Vestals...

Good shoegaze never goes out of style, and Philly outfit NOTHING seem to know it. On , the band's follow-up to their 2012 EP, , they've done their homework: towering distorted guitars, soaring falsettos and slamming, snare-heavy percussion evoke Slowdive's biggest moments, albeit with a little more passion. Though hardly metal, NOTHING distinguish themselves from their shoegaze forebears by eschewing sparkling beauty in favour of downright heaviness...

This Philadelphia band's debut album is a promising set of dark shoegazer psych-rock, combining walls of distortion-drenched guitars with hazy vocals and dreamy melodies. 2/14/2014
