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.

Never Heard of It Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sick of all the animadversion that you have
I'm sick
Telling me you're always so sad I'm sick of you
And everything you do
I'm sick of me not ever telling you how I feel about you

And I'm sick
Of all the animadversion that you have

I'm sick
Telling me you're always so sad I'm sick of you
And everything you do
I'm sick of me not ever telling you how I feel about you
It's how I feel about you

Leave me alone
I'm sick of you
Don't call me asking to hang out
I got shit to do

I can finally say
I hate you
You are the girl
I never knew
Veronica, I hate you
You're in my way
We're so untrue
Veronica, I hate you

And I'm sick of you acting fake when you speak
And like my best friend after what you said to me
Just last week
I can't stand your fake fucking face
And all of your lies
And we all see through
Your stupid disguise

Leave me alone
I'm sick of you
Don't call me asking to hang out
I got shit to do

I can finally say
I hate you
You are the girl
I never knew
Veronica, I hate you
You're in my way
We're so untrue
Veronica, I hate you

You are are the girl
I never knew
Veronica, I hate you
You're in my way
We're so untrue
Veronica, I hate you

You are the girl
I never knew
Veronica, I hate you

You're in my way

We're so untrue
Veronica, I hate you

He also feels that she is not genuine in her actions and words towards him, evident through her fake behavior and lies. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Veronica, I hate you," signifying the strong emotions of animosity and resentment towards her.

However, as he gets to know her better, he realizes that she is not the person he thought she was. This realization leads to his feelings of frustration and disdain towards her. The singer chooses to distance himself from Veronica, indicating that he has no desire to keep her in his life.

Overall, "Veronica" is a song that expresses the singer's dissatisfaction and disappointment towards someone he once thought highly of. It illustrates the importance of being genuine in one's actions and behavior, and how a lack of authenticity can ruin relationships.
