Nothingface is a four-piece alternative metal music group from Washington, D.C. The band are noted for their sometimes graphic lyrics and occasionally using vaguely political themes in their newer works, as well as polyrhythmic songs. Formed in 1995, the band's original line-up consisted of vocalist David Gabbard, guitarist Tom Maxwell, bassist Bill Gaal and drummer Chris Houck. They released three demo tapes with this lineup, until Gabbard left the band. At this point Matt Holt took over singing duties. The band then recorded a demo CD, which was a self titled album featuring ten songs. DCide then discovered Nothingface, and they re-recorded the album, with six of the songs featuring on their debut album Pacifier, released February 6, 1997. The band's sophomore effort An Audio Guide to Everyday Atrocity was released on September 22, 1998 via DCide/Mayhem Records. Two years later, the band released their third album Violence on October 10, 2000. It was the band's national debut, released via TVT Records. Chris Houck recorded drums for this album and then left the group, replaced by Tommy Sickles of Ingredient 17 fame (Matt and Tommy's band before Nothingface). In early 2001, Bill Gaal left the group to pursue a career in music production and engineering. He was replaced by Jerry Montano, formerly of The Deadlights. A few months later Gaal returned to his position as bassist. The band released their fourth album Skeletons on April 22, 2003 via TVT Records. This would be their last release on the label. The group disbanded on February 10, 2004, citing musical differences, turmoil and label troubles. Bill Gaal went on to form Kingdom of Snakes with former members of the band Gunfighter. Their debut EP features vocal work from Matt Holt on one track. Tom Maxwell and Tommy Sickles were in the band Blessed in Black featuring ex-Skrape vocalist Billy Keeton, as well as Jerry Montano on bass. However Keeton left the band, leaving them without a vocalist. On November 24, 2005, a posting on the Jägermeister website showed Nothingface as the opening act for Disturbed in a 2006 show. The line-up for this show (and current line-up of the band) consists of Matt Holt, Tom Maxwell, Jerry Montano and Tommy Sickles. The band has since written around 40 new songs, and have narrowed it down to 10 that they will release on the album. The band has said that the new album will come out at around the same time as their next tour in 2007. Guitarist Tom Maxwell is also doing a project entitled Hellyeah with Vinnie Paul, formerly of Pantera and Damageplan, as well as Chad Gray and Greg Tribbett of Mudvayne. Bassist Jerry Montano was also a part of this group, but left on April 18. They released their debut album on April 10, 2007 via Epic Records. They are currently scheduled to take part in this year's Family Values Tour. They will also launch the "Fire It Up" tour on May 20 in Baltimore before heading over to Australia and making its way to England for an appearance at this year's Download festival. To date, Nothingface has sold a total of 150,000 records. Members: -Matt Holt. -Tom Maxwell. -Jerry Montano. -Tommy Sickles. |
