NOTNORTH brings the drama back into music, letting expression eclipse perfection.

Frontman David Alan Thornton engages with the universal themes of love, sex and mental health through personal imagery and one-of-a-kind melodies. Bassist Andrew O'Connor and drummer Chris Lovejoy officially joined the project in 2025. NOTNORTH is a little vampire rock, a little grunge punk, a little glam... it's certainly a little dirty. And isn't it healthy to get a little dirty sometimes?

The band’s 2023 cover of ABBA’s “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” gained traction in 2025 when a clip of a live performance went viral on TikTok. New fans likened the vibes to that of Tim Curry in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Tool, and Jethro Tull. The band likes to say they’re what happened when Frank-n-furter fronted Queens of the Stone Age.

The band released "Bodega Caviar" in 2025 - an EP called "an unapologetic exploration of queer desire, downtown grit, and late-night tension" by Get Some Magazine. "It's sweaty, snarling, and beautifully unbalanced," according to MysticSons.com. Come have a taste of “Bodega Caviar” for yourself.
