Last week we told you about our Aftershock Spotlight on an incredible band, Nothing More. You can read that original post here.   Well Nothing More from San Antonio, Texas and New Orleans, LA definitely stole the show at the Aftershock Festival. On Saturday they played the Ernie Ball stage and had everyone taking notice of this high energy alternative rock/metal band.  We were so glad to catch their set and even more excited when we learned that on Sunday they would be playing the main stage since a couple bands could not make it to the show.

We had people asking us about them and telling us to get more info on the band.

I love Metal with clean vocals and a lot of kick ass double bass. My prayers have been answered as I put on some Righteous Vendetta! These guys completely deliver everything you want in Metal and more! They have recently released their Official Music video for their KICK ASS song, This Pain.

The video was a visual representation of what we wanted ‘This Pain’ to be.” Check it out here:  These guys truly know how to give us what we want with clean metal vocals, heavy double bass and shredding guitar work.
