There is a new, nostalgic alternative rock presence emerging from the depths of Austin’s Orb Recording Studios; nolo, a band that combines their high energy, luscious grooves, and ear-catching melodies with a truly inspiring personal story behind their creative work. nolo was formed in Austin in 2018 after the four group members met in an Austin-area rehab during a journey of healing and self-discovery. It was there that they drew inspiration from their collective challenges of the past and began collaborating. Composed of Richard “Ritchie” Wall (bass & vocals), Brett Mayers (guitar & vocals), Drew Vena (guitar & vocals), and Jason “Jay” Amato (drums), nolo released their first independent full-length EP “Where We Grew Up” in October of 2021. For the past three years, nolo has honed their sound and made a name for themselves performing in and around Austin, and working toward the release of their first full-length album slated for Spring 2024. Co-managed by Kelsey Flanagan and Blue October’s Matt Noveskeyof Daisy Bone Management, the new album was produced and engineered by Kelsey Flanagan (Sydney Palmieri, Crobot, Swimming with Bears) and Drew Blucher at Orb Recording Studios.
