Nothing release new song ‘The Carpenter’s Son’

NOTHING have released a brand new song!

The song, titled The Carpenter’s Son, is taken from the band’s upcoming album Dance on the Blacktop, which is scheduled for release in August.

Speaking about the track, frontman Domenic Palermo says, “my dad was a carpenter for his whole life- he built things and he built me. He struggled with addiction and anger and for a long time, and his idea of a fix was to use religion in a very similar, violent way. He left me peppered with too much reality for a young boy and subsequently also left me with an early disdain for Christianity. I often wondered how could I ever forgive a man whose sole purpose was to break everyone down around him. I lost him two or three years ago now. He was riding his bicycle in a storm and must have fell off, hit his head, went unconscious and slid into a ditch on the side of the road, face down, where he drowned just 200 feet from his house. I’ve lost many people at this point in my life and this only felt like another- nothing more. I think the song really just speaks of the expectations of existence and how there aren’t really many.”
