The Ottawa band Nothing is unpretentious in nature and its growing fan base and enthralling songs are making it a name to remember.
Since winning accolades from Trans-Canada Radio's Band of the Week, sought-after Band of the Month awards, and garnering some music industry attention along the way, Nothing has released its 14-track debut album and never looked back.
Hailing a name drawn as much from Dalai Lama's Buddhist ideology as from a line in Bob Dylan's classic Like A Rolling Stone ("When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose..."), the band not only entertains with its raspy vocals and unforgettable sounds but audaciously goes beyond the surface and straight to the heart, where the strongest currents flow.
Built on a solid team of friends, Nothing summons an undeniably addictive sound which builds each song into a big plush sofa that has fans crawling in and never wanting to leave.
Indeed, there is much ado about Nothing.
“Overall in the (Big Money Shot) competition, I think Nothing are a band to keep your eye on. Their set was a pleasure to listen to from start to finish.”
Scott Martin - Spotlight Ottawa
“Once in a lifetime comes a band so awesome… Darn, my Don LaFontaine voice just does not come through via text. I promise to try harder next time, good readers.
But in all seriousness, the hottest Canadian band of the week goes to Nothing. Not no one… but Nothing.
These guys come very highly recommended by yours truly.”
Bambi Blue - TransCanada Radio
“The band hopes to set itself apart with their interesting alternative rock sound (...). The second time around for the band (in the Big Money Shot), they are going to do things differently.”

“'Much Ado About Nothing': area band makes impression on Ottawa music scene~
Although their name may conjure images of emptiness, their music fills a void. The Ottawa area band has been making waves throughout the Ottawa music circuit since releasing their debut effort 'Underneath'. Much time and effort has been placed into ensuring that each track has the potential of being somebody's favourite song (...)”
Ashley Kulp - EMC
“I was so excited to get into their album. Felt: "This is something!". Love the vibe that comes off of it. Takes me back to a time of watching live Radiohead videos. Dark and deep music. Perfect. Definitely had that feeling at the live show. Felt this was something I need more of... something that I'm craving. This is a 'fewer-and-far-between' type of band... special.”
