Do Nothing is a British post-punk and indie rock band from Nottingham, England. The group is known for blending sharp lyrical storytelling, experimental guitar work, and melodic songwriting, creating a sound that stands apart from many of their contemporaries.
Formed in 2012, the band originally performed under the name Field Studies before adopting the name Do Nothing in 2016. Over the following years, they built a strong reputation through a series of acclaimed singles and EPs. Songs such as “LeBron James,” “Handshakes,” “Glueland,” “Happy Feet,” and “Amoeba” helped establish the band's identity, showcasing their mix of wit, emotional depth, and musical creativity.
In 2023, Do Nothing released their debut studio album, “Snake Sideways.” The record received favourable reviews from critics and marked a significant milestone in the band's career. It presented a more mature and introspective side of the group while maintaining the inventive energy that had defined their earlier releases.
What makes Do Nothing unique is their ability to combine post-punk intensity with unconventional song structures, surreal lyrical narratives, and memorable melodies. Frontman Chris Bailey's distinctive vocal style, often shifting between spoken-word delivery and melodic singing, further sets the band apart. Their originality and artistic ambition have earned them recognition as one of the most compelling acts in the modern UK independent music scene.
