Nothing More Tickets

Nothing More is an American rock band from San Antonio, Texas. The band was formed in 2003 by longtime friends Jonny Hawkins and Mark Vollelunga after meeting and playing together throughout their school years.

Their debut album, Shelter, was released in 2004 with a lineup consisting of vocalist Josh Klaus, guitarists Mark Vollelunga and Josh Kercheville, bassist Matt Reynolds, and drummer Jonny Hawkins. Nothing More had a hard time keeping a consistent lineup, going through several members but still failing to gain traction and secure a record label. Klaus and Reynolds were replaced by Travis Cox and Daniel Oliver shortly after the release of Shelter, however, Cox was later swapped for Trey Graham in 2006.

With Graham as their vocalist, they released their second album, Save You/Save Me, in 2007. However, despite finding some touring success with the album, the band found that they didn’t appreciate the direction that they were heading with Graham’s mainstream pop influence, which consequently leads to the band firing Graham. After the departure of Graham in 2007 and Kercheville in 2008, the band was settled with core members Hawkins, Vollelunga, and Oliver. They continued in the pursuit of finding their preferred style and creative process, despite the hardships the band faced. Hawkins began to suffer from depression from a number of personal issues, most notably his mother’s fight with cancer and eventual passing.

It wasn’t long after that Hawkins opted to become the band’s vocalist and frontman, the band deciding that a major change was needed to move forward. This resulted in the first album, The Few Not Fleeting, to feature Hawkins as the vocalist in 2009. With the main members now largely responsible for the creative control of the band, the album took on more of a progressive/alternative rock sound, delving into the genres that would later define their future albums and mainstream success. This new approach was ultimately the first step in the right direction as they were finally able to find a sound they resonated with, untouched by outside influences. The album’s lyrics took a lot from Hawkins' struggles, including the first track of the album, “Gone”, which speaks about his mother’s battle against cancer.

After years of being unable to find a record label, the band struck gold with their fifth and self-titled album, Nothing More, which was released independently in 2013. Only a day after playing for a second time at the Aftershock Festival in September of the very same year, the long period of searching for a record contract was over. They finally entered a five-album deal with Eleven Seven Music and re-released the album in 2014. The album was highly received the second time around, earning them a breakthrough into the mainstream and the #33 spot on the Billboard 200. They had found success with rock radio and found a handful of their songs surfacing onto the Mainstream Rock Chart. “This is the Time (Ballast)” hit #2, followed closely by “Here’s To The Heartache” which charted at #4, “Jenny” at # 6, and “Mr. MTV” at #12.

The fifth and latest album, The Stories We Tell Ourselves, was released in 2017. “Go To War” was the first of five promotional singles made public prior to the album. Debuting at #15 on the Billboard 200, the album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2018 Grammy Awards, with “Go To War” nominated for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song as well. Later in the very same month, the single topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart at #1.
