As three-time Grammy-nominated hard rock quartet NOTHING MORE gear up to hit the road later this month alongside IN THIS MOMENT, the band have shared a fourth new track, “YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT LOVE MEANS”, from their upcoming album “SPIRITS” - out October 14 and available for pre-order now. The impassioned song examines what happens when one tries to make a one-sided relationship work with all-too-real lyrics - “I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, there’s no rest, there’s no peace” which leads into frontman JONNY HAWKINS’ fervently belting out its chorus, “You don’t know what love means, and it's killing me”.
“We’re glad this song is finally getting out there so we can dig into the emotional and intimate side of the album”, says Hawkins. “The lyrics and tone of this one feels like it hits in a similar way that ‘Go To War’ and ‘Jenny’ did. It’s going to feel huge playing this next one on tour”.
“YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT LOVE MEANS” follows previously released album tracks “SPIRITS” and “TURN IT UP LIKE”. The lead-off track “TIRED OF WINNING” is currently #6 on Billboard’s Active Rock chart, and the extended version, “TIRED OF WINNING / SHIPS IN THE NIGHT”, is also included on “THE RETALIATIORS ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK” for Better Noise Film’s upcoming horror-thriller THE RETALIATORS.

SPIRITS combines NOTHING MORE’s unapologetically massive anthems, catchy hooks, and progressive music with introspective, philosophical lyrics and thought-provoking emotionalism. Its eleven tracks were co-written by all band members--Hawkins [vocals], Mark Vollelunga [guitar], Daniel Oliver [bass], and Ben Anderson [drums]--and their longtime manager and co-producer Will Hoffman. The album documents the tumultuous time the world experienced over the past two years capturing the desperation and isolation of lockdown, the spiral of substance abuse, the pain of broken relationships, and survival in self-reliance while summarizing the overall story and mission of NOTHING MORE: Reflect, Provoke, Inspire.
The band has further embellished the SPIRITS concept with their self-designed meta-personality test, “SPIRITS TEST”, and their first-ever graphic novel “SPIRITS VOL.1” (Z2 Comics), which introduces the “SPIRIT TYPES”, which stem from the results of taking the “SPIRITS TEST” as the four main characters in the graphic novel.
