The band have had numerous guest musicians feature on their songs, including Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream)[23][24]
Never Not Nothing’s first album, Never Not Nothing[25][26] was released in 2019[27] [28]with a follow-up EP, Art Ritual, released in 2020[29]. The band have toured extensively with Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, as well as headlining tours in the UK and around the world.
