Nothing

來自德國首都柏林的硬核朋克樂隊NOTHING，盡管組建只有三年不到的時間，但樂隊所有成員都已經(jīng)在德國硬核圈子里摸爬滾打多年，他們堅定不移地堅持老牌硬核風格，令他們在新派硬核為主流的當今樂壇，顯得格外扎眼。
 
NOTHING的五位成員主唱Jobst、吉他手Matthias和Matze、貝斯手Mark以及鼓手Ronny是多年的摯友，盡管之前都分散在不同的樂隊里，但他們組到一起之后迅速產生了化學反應，也令NOTHING很快從眾多樂隊中脫穎而出。2011年4月，NOTHING的首張專輯《Double Dose of Negativity》一經(jīng)發(fā)表，立刻引起了德國硬核領域的關注。
At the end of 2010 a new band appeared on the wide HC/punk map of Berlin - NOTHING. Although the band is new, its members are far from newbies. Included in the crew are people who have been involved in the HC/punk scene in Germany for many years - Jobst (HIGHSCORE, MONSTER, PEACE OF MIND)- vocals ; Matthias (HIGHSCORE, DURANGO 95) and Matze (MONSTER, COSTAS CAKE HOUSE)- guitars; Mark (BOMBENALARM, NAILS)- bass guitar; Ronny (SITUATIONS) - drums.
Their past experience and a strong urge to find a way of releasing their creative expressions resulted in a debut release which we didn’t have to wait long for. It has the force of a full-length album where you can find some bits and pieces of former bands but more influences from the Japanese „Burning Spirit” era hardcore or no bullshit no prisoners sound of Poison Idea and touch of late 80's NYC hardcore. no looking back and no xerox of the past.
"Double dose of negativity” is divided into eight pills which when taken one after another cause an immediate return to reality. Starting off „With no expectations and with nothing to lose,” the band gives no illusions or empty clichés. Instead, it's a honest story about burn outs, lies, failures and growing old in a city where grassroots and independent culture are pushed out and brutalized by pseudo-artists, hipsters, trends and people celebrating their boredom and emptiness. It seems the youthful idealism of the five guys from Berlin is long gone but their passion, involvement and down to earth critical views are still here - stronger than ever.
