Multi-GRAMMY-nominated rock act NOTHING MORE have released their new song “TURN IT UP LIKE,” via Better Noise Music, giving fans a first taste of their long-awaited new studio album.
Co-written by all four band members, the track is a fitting in-your-face return from the group, and with lyrics like “All my friends are dead/ They all got fucked by the internet/ All my friends are dead/ Our brain’s bein’ bugged by the media,” it’s an unapologetic sonic rejection of the divisive, digitally-drowned state of the world. This sentiment is just one of many layers along the same journey explored on the new LP, set for a release later this year. The project is the highly anticipated follow-up to their 2017 album The Stories We Tell Ourselves, which earned the band three GRAMMY nominations, including Best Rock Album, and Best Rock Song and Best Rock Recording for the single “Go To War.”
“TURN IT UP LIKE” is now available to stream and download across platforms now at https://nothingmore.ffm.to/turnituplike. Check out the video below.
NOTHING MORE’s frontman Jonny Hawkins spoke about the inspiration behind the song in a statement, saying, “This song is a reflection of how we all felt for the last two years, online. Fear and hate have become our god.”
Jonny Hawkins comments on the video. “Something we’ve always pushed for as a band is to question everything. And I think we’ve just gone through a period where it had been unfashionable to question things. Because if you did, you were the pariah, you were the outcast, the other. For the last few years, I’ve felt like an animal in a cage, just pacing, and my teeth are showing more. I had nowhere to vent that rage and that frustration until we put it into this song. I think a lot of people feel this way. You saw it spill over into riots and protests. There’s all this stuff just pent up inside people. Thankfully, we’re going back out on the road soon, so I’ll have somewhere to put it.”
The new track comes ahead of the album’s official first radio single, which is set for an April 29 release across streaming and digital platforms. Stay tuned for more details coming from the band’s official social media channels.
