Nothing Set In Stone

Nothing Set In Stone is an original rock band based out of St. Louis, MO. Members Nick Audrain (vocals), Phil Billingham (bass), Shawn McMullen (guitar), Mike Ventimiglia (guitar) & Kurt Welp (drums) bring a punchy, heavy alternative edge to their unique rock sound. Fans compare Nothing Set In Stone’s sound to Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Incubus and other hard rock/alternative rock bands. Billingham and McMullen first collaborated in 2011 making early recordings of what would evolve into the formation of Nothing Set In Stone. Billingham, a Chicago native, started his pursuit in music by becoming a self-taught recording artist and eventually turned to the bass. McMullen, hailing from Cleveland, who had previous experience playing guitar in several Cleveland-based bands, reignited his musical career after hanging the guitar up for a few years. The two would eventually decide to pursue a vocalist. Billingham showed McMullen some material he had previously recorded with his cousin, Audrain. Audrain, a St. Louis native who had just returned home after serving in the US Navy, was no stranger to the music scene. Following in his father’s footsteps, Audrain focused on developing his powerful voice to make an impact. When Billingham introduced them, the chemistry developed almost instantly. The three collectively wrote a variety of songs to develop their sound as Nothing Set In Stone. In late 2013, they released their first studio recording for their single, F.E.A.R. They followed that with the release of their first EP titled “Arise” which made its debut in 2015. Other musicians played and performed with them until 2016, when they brought in Welp to play drums. Welp, who previously played in Wild Tiger Fighters, was looking to join a band after stepping away from music for a while. In 2017, they decided to add a 2nd guitar player to bolster their sound. They brought in Ventimiglia, formerly of Facing Infamy, to provide the extra layer of guitar as well as some additional back-up vocals.
