Excuses Excuses Take Aim at Social Media’s Divisive Grip on Empowering New Single, “Nothing At All”
Toronto alt-punk rockers Excuses Excuses return with “Nothing At All,” an anthemic, defiant, and raw rallying cry that questions the impact of social media on our increasingly divided world. The track cuts through the noise to encourage listeners to reject the curated smokescreens algorithms present and reclaim an honest, individual perspective on life.
Delivering a searing commentary on conformity, the emptiness of regurgitated online opinions, and the loss of original thought in the digital age, “Nothing At All” serves as a reminder that we don’t need to feed into the game that media and politics try to push on us – we still have a chance to be ourselves and to be united in this world.
“‘Nothing At All’ directly calls out the effects of social media on our brains and the flaws in our resulting actions as a society,” explains guitarist/vocalist Kyle C. Wilton. “Though a lot of people either don’t see it or choose not to realize it, the truth is that we have been changed by this modern way of life. I think this song sheds a much needed light on the reality of the situation.”
At its core, “Nothing At All” is about breaking the cycle – refusing to be just another voice in the echo chamber, and instead striving for a more positive, authentic, and united future.
Known for their cathartic lyrics and explosive live shows, Excuses Excuses fuse gritty punk edge with undeniable melodic sensibility. Their debut album, Listen Up! (via Known Accomplice Records/Cadence Music Group), cemented their place among Canada’s most compelling alternative rock acts, earning critical acclaim and a devoted fan base.
With “Nothing At All,” they continue to push their sound forward – delivering songs that demand to be felt as much as they’re heard.
