Hire: Nonpoint
Nonpoint is an American rock band from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Nonpoint was formed on January 30, 1997, emerging from the popular, burgeoning South Florida metal scene of the mid-to-late 1990s by drummer Robb Rivera and vocalist Elias Soriano. The name Nonpoint came from a Believer song, named “Nonpoint.” Soriano recalls: “I dug the name, so I started using it around that time. It has no real meaning to us. It has something to do with pollution, but to us, it just sounded cool.”
The band self-released their first album, Separate Yourself, in late 1997. The band’s first commercially released album, Struggle, was released on May 18, 1999, on the now-defunct Jugular Records.

Nonpoint have been described as groove metal, hard rock, heavy metal, rap metal, nu metal, and alternative metal. When asked if he viewed Nonpoint as a metal band or a rock band, vocalist Elias Soriano stated “Both, I think. A heavy rock band. Yeah, we’re definitely both. We don’t try to pigeonhole ourselves.”
Originally playing an aggressive style, Nonpoint moved to more melodic sounds with their 2002 album, Development, due to pressure from their record label, MCA. The 2004 album, Recoil, marked a return to the band’s heavier roots.
In a 2000 interview, Soriano reflected on the band’s musical influences, stating, “We all have a lot of separate influences. My drummer comes from a more metal/hardcore background. My bass player is from Straight Edge hardcore, Earth Crisis, Hatebreed, stuff like that. My guitar player is really into Stevie Ray Vaughan and blues, and a lot of industrial stuff, like Nine Inch Nails. Me personally, I grew up on a lot of R&B, a lot of rap. I’m into that smooth, soulful sound.”
