This album project is a change of pace for N8NoFace - while the artist keeps one foot firmly in the synth-punk world, here he's exploring his more vulnerable, tender side.

N8NOFACE (pronounced "nate-no-face") had already barely survived an insane Hollywood biopic of a gangster/rockstar life long before Fred Durst invited him to join Limp Bizkit's Loserville tour, playing arenas across the US and Europe.

His drug-addled ultraviolent lifestyle in Tucson, AZ, shaped the dark themes and chaotic sound of his music.

Now on the other side of that turmoil, after relocating to Long Beach, CA in the early 2010s and cleaning up, N8's forty-nine years old with the energy of someone thirty years younger.

As Of Right Now is N8NOFACE's Stones Throw debut - a collection of new wave-inspired songs that presents a bit softer, more gentle side of his main character.

The album is co-written and produced by Chico Mann, a founding member of Antibalas and Here Lies Man.
