Since the beginning Nothing Left To Lose has taken pride in their writing and touring work ethic, and plan on doing this as long as they breathe. From the studio to the road, Nothing Left To Lose shines through and proves again and again why they are one of the most sought-after acts in the midwest.
Enter The Last Battle Hymn (Zero Youth Records 2005) --the latest release from the midwest's most elite. The development of the new record was a solid process of creativity, deeper meaning, maturity, and broadening the horizons of the groups' musicianship.
Nothing Left to Lose's previous two efforts, Fight the Good Fight (Target Market Records 2002), and Together Forever Eternity (Drop10 Records 2003), the latter of which went out of print after quickly selling three thousand copies within fifteen months, have paved the way for their most mature sound yet.
Sharing the stage with acts like: The Toasters, One-21, Hanover Saints, The Blamed, Flatfoot 56, Headnoise, The Huntingtons, The Nekromantix, Roper, Officer Negative, Mercury Radio Theatre, and the 2006 Vans Warped Tour have given this group of five friends the ability and the opportunity to forge their way ahead in a scene that is quickly drowning any hopes for originality.
Nothing Left to Lose has steadily been on the road, building a regional following of devoted friends and fans. Night after night it brings to the stage a stunning, fast-paced spectacle of crunching guitars and rousing drums, winning audiences over one show at a time. With the release of The Last Battle Hymn, the five friends that make up Nothing Left To Lose look to pioneer a new path in experiencing music.

Some really good punk here. A surprising debut indeed. Fans of Dogwood, Strung Out, and A Wilhelm Scream will get all excited about this. In other words, it’s fast, catchy punk with some impressive guitar work. -www.Dirtculture.com
"Hardcore punk band Nothing Left to Lose has a fundamental album on their hands with The Last Battle Hymn. Their melodies are rich and rousing almost urging you to thrust your hands in the air and sing along. Theres a bit of post-punk/hardcore veining in throughout the album that gives it a sort of Grade type of thing. Theres some political themes going on but that doesnt compose the entire album so dont go off saying that this is just another political punk band instead, theyre just a force to reckon with."

"The Last Battle Hymn is Nothing Left to Lose's debut disc, and it's a very strong start. Vocalist Tyler Wakefield has a great set of pipes, making the lyrics very easy to hear and enjoyable to listen to. (We all know that punk rock has been the excuse for some sorry vocals over the years.) I was very impressed by the way the group combines punk, hardcore, and metal guitar in a very lyrical way and has solid lyrics worth listening to. In addition to Wakefield on vocals, band members are Adam Christensen and Brent Young on guitars, Brian Roe on drums, and Travis Weil on bass. I really liked "Armies Rise" and "15,000 Dead". If you're willing to give a chance to a punk band that is a little bit different musically, pick up this disc. You won't be sorry." Skratch Magazine
