Prior to their incendiary performance at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, frontman Jonny Hawkins and bassist Dan Oliver sat down for a chat with Pierre Robert and Ryan Shuttleworth backstage. They converse a lot about Nothing More’s latest musical release Carnal which came out on June 28th. The band discusses the importance of still making full albums, how Dolly Parton inspired a track on the record, and presenting Carnal at the MMRBQ in gold-colored vinyl.

The conversation took a philosophical turn when the lads talk about synchronicities, how Alan Watts has become the unofficial mascot for Nothing More (and how Pierre has been trying to escape him) and taking stock at where the band feels they are currently in their lives.
