Nominee - Withered Away [EP]

Nominee is an Austin based post hardcore band known for blending raw intensity with unexpected melody. They honed their sound over years of touring, performing everywhere from crowded basements to festival stages, learning how to turn life on the road into songs that hit hard and stay with you.

Their debut album, Lowlife, arrived in 2021 on Smartpunk Records and explored mental health, self doubt, and recovery with honesty that resonated with listeners. Earlier releases like Drag Me Out and Outset laid the foundation, shaping a band unafraid to confront the darker corners of life while keeping a hook or melody at the center of it all.

Now, Nominee returns with the three song EP Wither Away, a collection of songs that reflect where they are today. The songs carry sharper focus and deeper emotion, capturing the struggles and growth that have marked the past few years. Wither Away offers a clear picture of a band that keeps pushing forward, refining their craft, and staying true to the intensity and authenticity that define their music.
