Official press release:
Nonpoint are back with their hard-hitting new single “Is It”, available everywhere May 8th on all major digital streaming platforms. Known for their relentless energy, uncompromising sound, and undeniable live presence, the band continues to push forward with new music that captures the raw intensity fans have come to expect.
“Is It” serves as the first release from Nonpoint’s upcoming full-length album The Last Word, arriving in late summer 2026. Both the band and 361 Degrees Records are positioning this track as the opening statement of a new era, setting the tone for the album’s themes and energy of the new record. Rather than following a traditional rollout, the song will debut on April 24, 2026, exclusively via the band’s official YouTube channel. The release will take the form of a hand-drawn, animated lyric video, offering a unique visual experience that complements the song’s message and listening experience while giving fans an early, immersive look into the creative world of The Last Word.
“In a world that sometimes wants to put a timestamp on creativity, The Last Word is our way of saying we’re just getting started. We’re pushing back against expectation and pushing forward into our own next chapter.”
Elias goes on to explain the concepts behind the song “Is It”:
“‘Is It’ is that internal conflict where you question getting too involved? Did I push too hard? Did I ask too much? It’s that feeling of wondering if doing what you thought was right actually meant hurting the people around you.”
Elias explains the bold concept behind his design imagery on the cover:
“This album cover tells a piece of our story. After years of making music, we feel more aligned than ever—musically, visually, and creatively. We’re writing some of the strongest material of our career, our live shows are as powerful as they’ve ever been, and the band feels focused and energized. The pencil on the cover represents what it’s like to be handed one last tool and expected to fit everything you have left to say into it. Not because the ideas are gone, but because longevity often comes with assumptions and limits. The Last Word isn’t about accepting an ending. It’s about challenging that narrative. If this is the pencil we’re being handed, we’re going to use it—and make sure the words written with it still matter.”
Full DSP and soft radio rollout of “Is It” will follow on May 8, 2026.
Nonpoint is currently on The Outta Control Tour, a high-energy U.S. run featuring special guests SOiL and Sumo Cyco. Nonpoint will be performing new material from their forthcoming album, giving fans an early taste of what’s next from the band while continuing to deliver the sound that has defined their career.
