Welcome to the mind of a "digital native". 18 year old No Signal creator Riley Schmelzer was raised on the Internet with virtually every video, news clip, song and image available to him. This immersive experience gave him a unique perspective that is notably wide and deep. Specifically going against the grain of “poppy” 3-minute cookie cutter songs he chooses to create a series of stories that intonate warnings to the human race that foreshadow where the world is headed if we do not stand up and start fighting for the planet and all of its inhabitants. The results are a very analog view into this digital world.

All songs were written, performed, and recorded entirely by Schmelzer in his basement studio at his home in Boulder, CO. A self-taught musician, Schmelzer plays lead and rhythm guitar, bass, drums, sings all of the vocals, as well as playing all other sounds heard on the EP. Touring members of the band include 20-year-old Nic Kubes (drums/percussion) and 22-year-old Tanner Shafer (bass/background vocals)
