What happens when you take the founding fathers of Canmore’s most pronounced heavy rock bands SNUG and ¡BAWANG! and throw them in a damp claustrophobic room stuffed with dusty overpowered amps, off sale discount beer and cheap mood lighting?! Make up some fake cliche names like Josh, Mike and Cory and you just birthed INONOTHING, a relentless unapologetic assault of decibels at a rate of knots from a bunch of guys that easily exceed the average of twice the legal drinking age.
