Nots is an American post-punk band that delved into the underground music scene with a sonic blend of raw energy, angular guitars, and nihilistic grooves. Emerging from Memphis, Tennessee, Nots was initially formed in 2011, creating a soundscape that encapsulates a fusion of garage punk veracity and synth-laden noise aesthetics. The core lineup has included Natalie Hoffmann on guitar and vocals, Charlotte Watson on drums, Alexandra Eastburn on synth, and Meredith Lones on bass, although the band has seen some changes in membership over the years.

The band has consistently pushed the envelope with their releases, with albums like "3," underlining their commitment to evolving styles and the refusal to be pigeonholed into one musical niche. "Cosmetic," another one of their full-length offerings, showcases their ability to meld dissonance with melody, earning them praise within the punk and indie circuits. Singles such as "My Heart Aches (Not Because of Love or Any Other Stupid Thing, I Should See a Doctor)" and "Half Painted House" highlight the band's penchant for crafting tracks that are as thought-provoking and iconoclastically humorous as they are rife with jarring, energetic instrumentation. Nots' live performances, captured in recordings like "Nots on Audiotree Live," manifest the band's raw and unadulterated stage presence, cementing their reputation as a formidable force within the contemporary punk landscape.
