Release Notes:
H2O is a band that had beginnings like any other band. No one could have
guessed that a few guys and a former roadie from New York would start a band as
a one-song side project and it would turn into a world-touring powerhouse.
They took humble roots and worked their way to add their chapter to the long
history of New York Hardcore and they would define the term melodic hardcore
that would become so common years later. From 1996 to 2003 was unavoidable- four
albums on Blackout!, Epitaph, and MCA records with over 300,000 copies sold,
constant world touring with the likes of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Rancid,
AFI, Pennywise, & the Used, Sick Of It All, the Misfits, 7 Seconds, and Madball,
as well as runs on the Warped Tour-they established themselves as a household
name and inspired countless others in their wake. In the pre-internet world of
hardcore and punk, H2O was the band that blended the heavily-tattooed, unbridled
rage of New York bands like the Cro-Mags and Agnostic Front, with the punk
melodies of bands like the Descendents and Token Entry. Its hard to argue that
bands a decade later would take the melodic hardcore groundwork laid by H2O to
wider audiences.
Its now 2008 and H20 is still here, but Nothing To Prove is not a comeback
thats way too simple. Nothing to Prove is a statement of everything the band
is and a taste of what the band will be in the future – and its nothing short
of incredible. Frontman Toby Morse said it best, This time feels urgent. I
feel everything on this album has been building up over the last seven years.
Thats why this album is called Nothing To Prove – because its all out on the
table. This is H2Os most personal, most angry, most positive, hardest, yet
catchiest album to date, and it comes into a scene not unlike the scene that H2O
originally entered. Hardcore and punk as concepts have been diluted, confused
and hyphenated to the point where its a marketing term. Nothing To Prove is a
ten-song breath of fresh air and honesty that is poised to revive an otherwise
stagnant scene.
The re-emergence of H2O hits with the first notes of the opening track, 1995.
Only a few solitary chords before the crashing of a fast, raw and melodic song,
complete with classic sing-alongs and a perfect breakdown. The title track is
next and while its only a minute and a half blast, Nothing To Prove sums up
H2Os manifesto for this release: the band is back and while their history
speaks for itself, theyre not resting on any laurels. Featuring Agnostic
Fronts Roger Miret and the one and only Danny Diablo, the band shows they
havent forgotten where they came from. As the album progresses, H2O reminds the
listener that their penchant for infectious anthems and choruses has not
dissipated one bit.
Lyrically, we see Toby Morse as up front and honest as hes ever been. Anthems
about being straight edge in his 30s (Still Here), to being a responsible
adult with tattoos (Heart On My Sleeve), and the personal sacrifices and
vulnerabilities we all feel (Unconditional) are all present on Nothing to
Prove . With Sunday, listeners get a stunning display of Morses personal
story – the passing of his father when he and his brother, H2O guitarist, Todd
Morse, were young children, and the subsequent birth of his own child on the
same day of the week. Toby bares it all in one of the most personal songs H20
has written. Ending with the anthem, and first single, What Happened? we are
presented with a testament to the power of H2O. The song is an anthem about
questioning the ethics and motives of bands and music in general today, but the
subject is addressed in a positive way. They take an infectious anthem and up
the ante with appearances by Lou Koller of Sick Of It All and Matt Skiba from
Alkaline Trio both showing what they do best. Its a formidable closer and its
the last statement in an album that is the most forthright in their career thus
far; their hearts are on their sleeves. Bassist Adam Blake commented, This is
the first time Ive ever seen Toby NEEDING to write lyrics. He just kept
writing and writing and writing and it came so easy to him once he got started.
What makes Nothing To Prove such a monumental album is that it is a
collaboration of many long-time H2O fans, only now, instead of stage-diving and
singing along, theyre behind the boards of the recording studio, designing the
artwork and releasing the albums. Produced by longtime fan and friend of the
band, Chad Gilbert (New Found Glory), a new perspective was brought in. Toby
said, Chad really knew how to help us take good songs and make them sound
great. Gilbert stated, I am a fan of H2O and this is an album that fans of
H2O want to hear. They needed to make this record and Im really proud to be a
part of it. Bridge Nine Records owner Chris Wrenn and label manager Karl
Hensel both have their own histories with H2O running over a decade as well.
This entire project has been amazing, Wrenn stated. Everyone involved is
passionate about the album and its been a great experience watching this album
get created start to finish and to see the bands reaction and excitement about
the finished product. Theyve never had this kind of control or say in every
last aspect of the process. Its an honor that H2O is a part of our legacy and
its an honor that Bridge Nine is apart of H2Os legacy.
H2O, much like youd expect, is hitting every corner of the globe spreading the
word that H2O is undeniably back.
