Rock At Night: “Nothing to Prove” may be our favorite tune from the upcoming EP, Anything and Nothing. We are digging the heavy, grungy 90s vibe with hooky choruses that stay in your head long after the song is over. The verses blend jangly guitars and vocals into pure psychedelia until the chorus erupts into a wave of aggressive guitar distortion. The vocals are melodic and emotional, as the vocalist declares, “I have nothing to prove to myself or anybody else.”
