It all brings a sense of hope in the face of the frontman’s despondency.

‘Snake Sideways’ is a culmination of all of Do Nothing’s talents, and a great debut album which is perfect for the live setting – where the band thrives.

Finally the debut album is here
I have been aware of Do Nothing for four fucking years now. I heard "Lebron James" and immideatly fell in love with it. Sadly, it's still their best song, the spoken-word just can't be beat. The guitars are so funky, the bass-line and that chorus melody... DAMN.
