We Are Nothing

WE ARE NOTHING IS A THREE PIECE METAL BAND FROM MANCHESTER, CT. CONSISTING OF LEAD/RHYTHM GUITARIST PATRICK FRANCOEUR, DRUMMER AND PERCUSSIONIST DUSTIN TERRIO, AND LEAD/RHYTHM BASS AND VOCALIST NOBODY SPECIAL. NO ONE IS REALLY SURE WHERE NOBODY CAME FROM, HE’S AN ANOMALY OF SORTS. THEY HAVE ALL BEEN PERFORMING IN LOCAL METAL BANDS SINCE THEIR EARLY TEENS. ALSO WORTH NOTING IS THAT THEY ARE ALL SELF TOUGHT MUSICIANS. FORMED IN EARLY DECEMBER OF 2012, THEY HAD A VISION OF TRAVELING THE WORLD SHARING THE COMPLICATED BUT CATCHY HEAVY MUSIC THAT THEY LOVE TO PLAY WITH ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN. IN TERMS OF INFLUENCES, THIS BAND IS VERY DIVERSE IN THE BACKGROUNDS THEY DERIVE THEIR PASSION FROM. PAT WAS BORN IN THE WRONG ERA AND OWES HIS REASON FOR PICKING UP THE AX TO ALL OF THE 80’S THRASH METAL BANDS. HIS STYLE COMES FROM THE INFLUENCE OF LEGENDS SUCH AS JAMES HETFIELD OF METALLICA, JOHN SCHAFER OF ICED EARTH, AND GEORGE LYNCH OF DOKKEN. DUSTIN FIRST PICKED UP THE DRUMSTICKS WHEN HE WAS 12 YEARS OLD AFTER HEARING THE PUNISHING PERCUSSION ON SLIPKNOTS SELF TITLED DEBUT. HIS MAIN INFLUENCES ARE JOEY JORDISON, MARIO DUPLANTIER, THOMAS LANG, AND DIRK VERBEUREN TO NAME A FEW. NOBODY’S MAIN INFLUENCES ARE A MYSTERY, NO ONE IS SURE WHEN OR WHERE HE FIRST STARTED PLAYING BASS, SOME WOULD SAY THE BASS ITSELF INSPIRES HIM. IT MAY SEEM STARNGE, BUT WHEN THEY MIX ALL OF THESE VERY DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS IT PRODUCES A BRUTAL MIX OF HARD HITTING STYLES THAT PLAY OFF OF EACH OTHER VERY WELL. WE ARE NOTHING WANTED TO COME STORMING OUT OF THE GATES AT THEIR INCEPTION WITH THE GOAL OF GROWING A LOYAL FANBASE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THEY ACCOMPLISHED THIS BY BOOKING SHOWS WITH NATIONAL TOURING ACTS SUCH AS FEAR FACTORY, MUSHROOMHEAD, AND STRAIGHT LINE STITCH RIGHT FROM THE START. THEY ALSO PLAYED COUNTLESS OTHER LOCAL SHOWS IN THE CONNECTICUT AND MASSACHUSETTS AREA AT VENUES SUCH AS THE WEBSTER AND CHERRY STREET STATION. ALWAYS A CROWD PLEASER, THEIR AGGRESSIVE SOUND AND CATCHY HOOKS GET NEW LISTENERS ATTENTION RIGHT FROM THE VERY FIRST NOTE. ANYONE WHO LEAVES A WE ARE NOTHING SHOW KNOWS WHO THEY ARE BY THE END OF THE NIGHT AND HAS A GREAT TIME IN THE INTRODUCTION PROCESS. PEOPLE ALWAYS WALK AWAY AFTER THEIR SET WITH BIG SMILES ON THEIR FACES BECAUSE OF THE CONTAGIOUS ENERGY THEY GIVE OFF. IN APRIL OF 2013, WE ARE NOTHING WENT INTO SILK CITY MUSIC FACTORY IN MANCHESTER CONNECTICUT TO TEAM UP WITH FRIEND AND PRODUCER MATT GLASSER. IN AN IMPRESSIVE ONE DAY SESSION, THEY RECORDED A FOUR SONG DEMO TO HELP INTRODUCE THEIR SOUND TO THE MASSES. IMPRESSED WITH HOW FAST THE DEMOS WERE GOING AT SHOWS AND ALL OF THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK, THEY DECIDED THAT FOR THEIR FIRST FULL LENGTH REALEASE THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER VISIT TO MATT AND PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL. THIS TIME, THERE WOULD BE A LOT MORE TIME TO DO SO. IN OCTOBER OF 2013, THEY WENT BACK INTO SILK CITY TO RECORD THEIR DEBUT FULL LENGTH ALBUM “THE KING OF NOWHERE”. ONCE THIS MAMMOTH PERSONAL UNDERTAKING IS COMPLETE, THEY PLAN ON PROMOTING THE RELEASE WITH AS MANY SHOWS AS POSSIBLE ALL OVER NEW ENGLAND AND NEW YORK FOR A START, THEN HOPEFULLY GARNER ATTENTION FROM ENDORSERS AND NATIONAL TOURING ACTS WHO WANT TO BRING THEM OUT ON TOUR. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING FOR THIS BAND, AND THEY’RE OFF TO A ROARING START. IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT THIS BAND IS ALL ABOUT, COME TO ONE OF THEIR SHOWS AND BE PREPARED TO BE BLOWN AWAY. MAKE SURE TO CHECK THEM OUT AND GET THEIR FORTHCOMING ALBUM “THE KING OF NOWHERE” AS SOON AS IT COMES OUT.
