FAWM: "Nothing"

Nothing

Liner Notes

here is my first contribution for fawm 2026.

this could be an xray xeroxx song i think. (xray xeroxx is my newest punk project)

the lyrics could be worked on, but this gets the job done for now.

i played all the instruments. the drums were played on a midi keyboard. i used my fender jaguar into a Sonicake preamp/fuzz and a Mosky spring reverb pedal. i used the same fender jaguar into a Boss OC5 octave pedal for the bass

i came up with the basic idea while i was making coffee this morning. then i worked it out later with guitar and laid down the basic tracks. i probably spent 60-90 minutes on all of it.

the video is just a bunch of random stuff i downloaded from archive.org

Lyrics

i got nothing to say so i'll keep it to myself i got so much to do not doing none of it

nothing nothing at all nothing nothing at all

i got so many bills that i don't wanna pay i got so much to do not doing none of it

nothing nothing at all nothing nothing at all

This is like therapy! Need to keep it in my pocket for those frequent times when I just CAN'T.

I love how you just get to the point, scream it out, and be done with it. perfection.

This song rips! Great performance and production. I want to hear the whole album!

@yourhumphrey 22h

Hell yeah, this rules. Extremely tight production. Great work, you've got this style down pat.

@kaminokai 22h

Man, this takes me back to a lot of the bands I used to play with back in WI. Awesome! So sonic! Hints of raw Sigue Sigue Sputnik!

Bad Brains revival! I loved it, fantastic guitar solo!! Who needs a 3min song anyway?

@djtjb 1d

This has me jumpin', jivin', and ready to get some shit done today. You always bring the energy dude. Love this!

@persaab 1d

Great energy here. Circle Jerks and Minor Threat feeling in there. Best part is song aint too long as too many songs nowadays are. Thanks for this good one

@artie 1d

Dude! You've managed to channel a most wonderful HR and Bad Brains vibe. And as was my old tradition of watching Groundhog Day on Groundhog Day, I appreciated all the Bill Murray clips.

@fuzzy 1d

Ah, the Banana Splits!! Gosh, I've listened to a bunch of punk tunes today so far; it's too early in the day for punk!! Love that guitar solo! Great energy here for sure! Keep em coming!

@matthewsanford 1d

I can’t resist a song called nothing, and I do love the fast punk feel with a trash noise solo! Great job letting it out!

@scottmcb 1d

A fantastic blast of punk fury

@chill4matt 1d

I love the words. Great performance. Ans has been said, it's catchy!

@mattwdunn 1d

This is brutal but still has that catchiness that you always inject into your tracks. Love the vocal. That chorus is a true ear worm. Great start

@straknine 1d

Now this is some good stuff. Love it.

@coolparadisoMod 1d
