One of the most hotly contested topics in the music industry today is the concept of genres, or subgenres. The subgenre category of any given band depends heavily on its fans. Some fans may consider a band to be in a certain subgenre or category, other fans may categorize the band differently. Some bands may fit snugly into more than one category, or overlap categories, such as Nothing More, an active rock/metal quartet hailing from San Antonio, Texas. With Johnny Hawkins on vocals, Mark Vollelunga on guitar, Daniel Oliver on bass and Ben Anderson on drums, Nothing More has been categorized as rock, alternative metal, progressive metal. But, their true category is defined by the listener, and changes according to the listener’s tastes.

Nothing More’s latest effort, ‘The Stories We Tell Ourselves’ is their 6th studio album set to drop September 15, 2017. Nothing More has enjoyed success with their previous outings and this effort should be no different. They inherently exhibit all the requisite trappings of a young alt-metal band such as high-pitched vocals, strong drum lines and a hip-hop feel which is wildly popular right now. They don’t exhibit the extreme hip-hop vibe such as is apparent in bands like Hollywood Undead and the like, but it’s still there and still discernible to the untrained ear.

The album opens with a short and very noisy intro dubbed “Ambition; Destruction” which leads into “Do You Really Want It”, the first full track on the album. The song opens with a slightly calmer feel than the intro implies. This track, along with all the tracks on this effort, boasts a great back beat, complex lyrics and a multi-voice and raucous chorus that blends well with the intense guitar work throughout the song. Lest we forget Hawkins’ high-pitched screeching vocals that so many contemporary bands have right now. However, Hawkins’ vocals stand out in a sea of emo bad boys that are currently saturating the market as they are strong, distinctive and fit well with the overall sound and feel of the band.
