About Me

Nothing Pretty is an aggresive, punch you in the mouth, Old School Punk Band! They have songs that raise the bar for other political bands to start saying something again. We try to get you, the people, to think and act for a change. Even with the lighthearted drinking songs and fun pokes at religion, Nothing Pretty will deliever a high energy non stop birage of anthemic chorus' and melodic verses. Nothing Pretty's punk rock continues to prove that punk is not dead! With light shades of Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Fear, Stiff little Fingers and the Clash, you will hear songs you can instantly sing along with and relate to. Anyone can find a song from these guys that you like.

Nothing Pretty was formed in the spring of 2006. Charlie Bat ( Hyper Kinertic Youth, Ball Peen Hernia, Dregs of Youth, Vampire Lezbos, Sledgeback and SLUDGEFUK!!) found Seattle native and punk rock solo artist "Handsome" Hank Chinaski. We started it together with Luke Puke McDoushe and Wi Hung Lo. Luke and Wi wanted to do something different. So we were sent looking for a new rhythm section. We had two friends that had been chomping at the bit to do it for some time! We brought in Nick Fuk (Linus and the Smelly Bastards, Sledgeback and SLUDGEFUK!!) on drums and Jimmy Grundlepants (US NAVY) on bass, bringing both on in Dec 07. The group recorded a 6 song demo in the fall of '06 and another 14 song recording in December 06- February 07. The band is Looking to record more in 08 as well as tour more than ever. They want to hit 150 shows this year, and hopefully even more for 2009! Looking at recording their third release, the bands new songs are still being worked into the set, and these songs promice to be the best yet! With 29 songs to work with they may be forced to relese a double cd. What ever it is, you will be guaranteed to get best punk rock you can find today! Also look out you may see them on a couple of compilations this year. Keep checking back with us, and go visit Hank at www.myspace.com/chinaskiachiever Thanks Nothing Pretty MyGen Profile Generator
