Please enjoy this post as the launching point to all my NXNE 2017 coverage. Click the friendly links below to check out my photos from each performer that I caught this year, and enjoy some photos I took from around the Portlands site throughout the fest.
Beautiful Nothing impressed with their NXNE 2017 show at Toronto's Cherry Cola's. I'm always a sucker for a good cover, and Beautiful Nothing's cove of Tears For Fears' "Shout" definitely qualifies, and it was a good fit for their overall aesthetic.
Beautiful Nothing delivers emotionally intense and intensely melodic rock music pulling from influences that run from the classic to the new. They have plenty of solid hooks and catchy choruses. They made a very impressive showing for the first band up on the first night of the festival.
Give them a listen and check them out if you have the chance.
