The Sweet Nothings

The Sweet Nothings is a melodic punk quintet hailing from La Crosse, WI, USA. The band started in Hugh Rose’s basement in 1999. After going through multiple line-up changes, they finally came up with one that clicked. Hugh Rose on bass & backing vocals, Ryan Bott on guitar & lead vocals, Kyle Viner on lead guitar, and Jim Heiderscheit on the drums. After an extended hiatus the band reformed in 2010 with Joe Viner rounding out the band’s sound on keys. The band released its debut EP, Lust For Fun, via Cornbelt Records and Plain Records in 2002 and contributed to 95.7 The Rock’s Local Lix: Volume 1 in 2003. On March 25, 2005 the band self-released their full-length debut, Broken Chords And Bleeding Hearts. Since then The Sweet Nothings have played countless shows throughout the Midwest, sharing the stage with Fall Out Boy, The All-American Rejects, Brand New, Motion City Soundtrack, The Reunion Show, Bigwig, The Fold, Northstar, and The F-Ups, Valencia and Forever The Sickest Kids among others. They’ve appeared on Showtime’s Tracy Ullman’s State of the Union, gone on hiatus and reformed as driven as ever to become your favorite band. The official Facebook home of The Sweet Nothings.
