Nothingface emerged from Washington, D.C. in 1996 to the national eye by many accounts as the band to watch in the new aggro rock genre. Their debut CD, "Pacifier," came out of nowhere on Indie label DCide and crushed all listeners, riding CMJ's Loud chart for 23 weeks. non-stop touring built the buzz the real way: by bringing a truly compelling live performance to fans across the country. Now, their follow-up CD, "An Audio Guide To Everyday Atrocity" contains many of the same ingredients that Nothingface exhibited on "Pacifier" to capture so many fans: infectious grooves, monstrous riffs, post-human drumming and Matt's signature vocals, as violent and disturbed as ever. But this record takes it all a step further as the band digs deeper into the most terrible acts humans are capable of, and delivers the 'Atrocity' through force, anger, melody and complex songwriting.
