LA-based synth-punk mainstay N8NOFACE (pronounced “nate-no-face”) has announced his Stones Throw debut As Of Right Now is set for release July 11. N8 had barely survived an insane Hollywood biopic of a gangster/rockstar life long before Fred Durst invited him to join Limp Bizkit’s Loserville tour earlier this year, playing arenas across the US and Europe. His drug-addled, ultraviolent come up in Tucson, AZ shaped the dark themes and chaotic sound of his early music. Now on the other side of that turmoil, after relocating to Long Beach, CA in the early 2010s and cleaning up, N8's forty-nine years old with the energy of someone thirty years younger. 


As Of Right Now keeps one foot firmly in the synth-punk world while also exploring his more vulnerable, tender side. On the new wave-inspired “Everything We Thought We Knew”, N8 highlights how we don't know everything until the truth comes out later. He says, “The song is about things that we thought we knew and later found out it was wrong, or there was more to it. It’s about being lied to and being able to learn more. Not being too tied to a belief, and instead having your own ideas, because things change.”


N8 began his music career as one half of glitchy chiptune Tucson duo Crimekills back in the MySpace era, recording one-minute songs on the fly in his closet. He built a fanbase over several years, releasing music at a rapid clip by himself and with labels like Justin Pearson’s Three One G, playing hundreds of shows, and ultimately drawing the attention of Eyedress – who invited him onstage at Coachella – Cypress Hill, the Bloody Beetroots, and Limp Bizkit. 


Whereas his earlier music was fueled by his addictions and the dark tales of hometown friends associated with Mexican drug cartels, As Of Right Now is a collection of love songs. N8 explains, “Most songs I have written have come to me through things I have seen or experienced (drug tales, border life and the streets), But I have always been a fan of love, and wrote about that too. Love found in the darkest places, sometimes by the scariest people. I always bounce back and forth from heartbreak in the streets or from a lover.”


N8NOFACE headlines the El Rey Theatre in LA on October 30, with more dates TBA.
