NOTHING WORKS
An underground, high-energy punk artist.
Formed in late 2022, Nothing Works is a rising force from Berlin’s underground subcultures. Blending '90s indie/alternative with modern melodic and post-hardcore, their sound is raw, urgent and emotionally charged. Think Drug Church meets Bikini Kill. That’s a good starting point for understanding their unapologetically political lyrics and the fierce energy they bring to every show. Their debut EP, "Bold Talk for a Burner Account", released in July 2025, featuring four songs that give a clear sense of what they’re about. Embrace for impact! The band, composed entirely of FLINTA* members, is quickly becoming a standout in the local scene, known for both their message and their momentum. Despite being young, Nothing Works has already supported notable acts from Austria, Canada, Germany, Mexico, United States & Peru, including CURB, PUNITIVE DAMAGE, YEAHRS, SHORELINE, GIRLS GO SKA, GO! NYHC, DRY SOCKET & TOMAR CONTROL. Their mission? To make people move, dance, stage dive. While also raising awareness about political struggles and everyday resistance.
