N8NOFACE is the love child of They Might Be Giants, Kid Frost, and Prince. His new album DOLOTAPE is a sensual mix of weirdness that provides the perfect soundtrack for the kind of night that ends with your soul-mate in handcuffs while you are bleeding from your midsection. Something went horribly wrong but to get there everything must have been going incredibly well.

N8NOFACE rides that fine line. He is the control in the chaos, the tantric messenger that has you thinking about the back of baseball cards and your grandmother in those black stockings that roll down to her ankles to avoid pre-ejax.

DOLOTAPE takes you through all sorts of manic episodes from the comfort of you grey primer 99 Honda Accord. shit bumps with the kind of low-end that makes the olds scared and scream shit about your pants hanging off your ass. On a dime he can turn into the most sensh crooner this side of D’Angelo, sure you might have to squint a bit to see the comparison, but the pain is there, you feel the confusion that only one experienced in the ways of love/hate/Fuck/love/cry/cut can convey. Dude is a romantic maniac, and I for one am intrigued the Fuck out.

I have been a fan of N8NOFACE since those early Crimekillz jawns, the 8-bit punk rock epics that leave holes in the sheet rock because I have no choice but to punch things. I stay rocking my Crimekillz shirt any chance I get (the wife hates it) and contemplate wearing it places I can’t/shouldn’t (think church and parent/teacher conferences). N8NOFACE is a god damned genius. He is a master of all genres and I bet he makes a mean as fucking paella.

DOLOTAPE works on so many levels, you can strip this fucker down and make a mixtape for any and all occasions.

You want a tape for wanton violence? No problem.

Wanna dress like a European Goth and make fun of the fatties rocking Nascar gear at Walmart? Gotchu!

shit wanna love women in the most Tribe Called Quest asexual way possible? Nuff jams for you.

Even if you want to seal the deal and rock nothing but leather pants and pirate shirts while making time with Eastern Block immigrant girls looking for citizenship, well he has the Fuck ballads you need.

The dude is a renaissance trapped in a human. N8NOFACE should be the biggest thing in indie music, the fact that he is not lets you know how fucking in the pocket 97.8% of all music journalists are.

Get DOLOTAPE, you won’t regret a second of it bro bro.
