Bio:
Since the beginning Nothing Left To Lose has taken pride in their writing and touring work ethic, and plan on doing this as long as they breathe. From the studio to the road, Nothing Left To Lose shines through and proves again and again why they are one of the most sought-after acts in the midwest.
Providing a show that consists of violent, awe inspiring music and performance, Nothing Left to Lose grabs listeners from the first note and doesn't let go.
With songs like: Ghost Town, My America, and Revolution--it's virtually impossible to deny the political overtones of the bands music. Not to be pigeon-holed as a political group, Nothing Left To Lose has brought so much more to the lyrical aspect of their music. Emotion without being too weepy was one bold step, not to mention spirituality and integrity without being preachy. Usually hard to do, yet in this release is pulled of masterfully.
Sharing the stage with acts like: The Toasters, One-21, Hanover Saints, The Blamed, Flatfoot 56, Headnoise, The Huntingtons, The Nekromantix, Roper, Officer Negative, Mercury Radio Theatre, The Elms, and Disciple have given this group of five friends the ability and the opportunity to forge their way ahead in a scene that is quickly drowning any hopes for originality.
::REVIEWS::
"Hardcore punk band Nothing Left to Lose has a fundamental album on their hands with ?The Last Battle Hymn?. Their melodies are rich and rousing almost urging you to thrust your hands in the air and sing along. There?s a bit of post-punk/hardcore veining in throughout the album that gives it a sort of Grade type of thing. There?s some political themes going on but that doesn?t compose the entire album so don?t go off saying that this is just another political punk band instead, they?re just a force to reckon with." - J-Sin http://www.smother.n et
"The Last Battle Hymn is Nothing Left to Lose's debut disc, and it's a very strong start. Vocalist Tyler Wakefield has a great set of pipes, making the lyrics very easy to hear and enjoyable to listen to. (We all know that punk rock has been the excuse for some sorry vocals over the years.) I was very impressed by the way the group combines punk, hardcore, and metal guitar in a very lyrical way and has solid lyrics worth listening to. In addition to Wakefield on vocals, band members are Adam Christensen and Brent Young on guitars, Brian Roe on drums, and Travis Weil on bass. I really liked "Armies Rise" and "15,000 Dead". If you're willing to give a chance to a punk band that is a little bit different musically, pick up this disc. You won't be sorry." -Skratch Magazine
