Emerging Artist for September/October 2025

Go Rock is proud to present North for Nowhere as our Emerging Artist of the Months of September and October 2025

North Of Nowhere are delivering an upbeat pop-punk track about life in the smaller towns of Nova Scotia. The single includes a light hearted video and stems from their upcoming Full Length album “Growing Pains”, available (Nov 14th, 2025). 

The modern small-town punk anthem lovingly sings about the trials of living in the small communities of Nova Scotia’s northern arm, The Isthmus of Chignecto. (referred to as Cumberland County by  locals.) 

“We’re just redneck kids from a gas station town, you’d never know existed if you didn’t break down” sings lyricist and vocalist Dylan Ellis.  And while the lyric hints at a busy highway rest stop in his hometown of Oxford NS, he could be speaking about any of the towns each individual member calls home. “There’s more to our home town than the Irving and Tim Hortons but most people will never venture past that”, Ellis says about life in a highway town.

The music video, which was filmed in each of the members' home-towns, focuses on the ups and downs of making a life in the grey areas often overlooked by more metropolitan centers. Between the band’s 4 members, each lives in a different area of Cumberland County, covering a distance of over 100km. Oxford, Pugwash, Springhill, and Amerst, Nova Scotia make are homaged  in the video.  (This Town - Official Video (NORTH OF NOWHERE))
