nobody. are set to hit the stage at the Chill House this Saturday to open up an unforgettable night of the HONOR BY ASSOCIATION TOUR. Their music blends hard rock, hardcore punk, and thrash into one stunning, smashing sound that will shake the floors of the Chill House during their set.
Their sound breaks boundaries and uses a crossover style to create endlessly memorable grooves and massively heavy songs that are perfect for any local headbangers or mosh pit fanatics looking for their next Chilliwack thrill. The band will be playing alongside Muscle Crowe, Tortion, and Plague Doctor - and the crowd is sure to be legendary. It's another Hold the Mustard show no metalheads should miss out on, and there's something for fans of all genres of rock to be found at this upcoming show. The band creates catchy, riffy songs with memorable vocals and instrumental work while being incredibly sharp and focused throughout their music; their sound is innovative and incredibly practiced, and the result is a band that kicks ass and takes names on all fronts.
The members of the band are exceptionally skilled and have been in the music scene for a very long time, and they pride themselves on humour, energy, and thrashing. You won't find an energy quite like this elsewhere, and their set at the Chill House is set to be packed full of energy and fun for both the crowd and the band.
I had the honour of interviewing Figgmond Newton - the band's vocalist, who was kind enough to hand-write answers to questions that are sure to help sell you on the band before you go to the show; you can find the exclusive pieces below the cut, and Hold the Mustard and friends hope to see you there!
