Never Heard of It was an American pop punk band from Los Angeles, CA. Formed at South Hills High School in West Covina in 1998, the band eventually sold over 100,000 copies of their CDs all over the world, and also booked and financed ten of their own U.S. tours as well as a couple of headlining tours of Japan, Mexico, and Europe. Shortly after their formation, the band started their own label entitled Unmotivated Records. They have self-released CDs such as …Unmotivated, Moving On, Limited Edition, The New Sh*t, 11 Days, and the self-titled Never Heard of It, as well as their World Tour 2005 DVD.
Earning a reputation as the hardest working and most successful independent band on the tour, offers started to come from every direction. They were offered full endorsements from Washburn guitars and a complete custom kit from Truth Drums, but, more importantly, they were offered more tours including their first tour overseas. As support for Bowling for Soup in the UK, NHOI received a response that they could only dream of. By their third show the word was already out and there were magazines and press that followed the band to see what all the hype was about. NHOI sold a little over 3,000 CD's in just 11 shows and were labeled as the next big thing to hit the UK. They were then offered a main support slot on a 23 date tour with Spunge in February of '04 and followed up with two headlining UK tours in October '04 and Feb '05.
When they got back home, they took roughly eleven days to record, edit, master, etc. their then upcoming new release, "11 Days," that dropped on March 9, 2004. It is now available in countries including the UK, Germany, and Japan.
After finishing a headlining world tour in the spring of '05, playing in Japan, England, Scotland, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, NHOI returned home to California to work on their new album.
Their self-titled CD was released in early 2007.
Also in 2007, the band went on an unannounced and sudden hiatus near the middle of the year. Though the band has not officially broken up, they have not been together since then.
