Do Nothing is a Nottingham crank wave four-piece consisting of lead vocalist Chris Bailey. Wrote Derek Robertson, Do Nothing spent the first ten years building a fanbase off of "captivating" live performances, multiple singles and an extended play, all consisting of "sharp, humorous, and eminently danceable" music.

Style
Do Nothing is part of a 2020s trend of British and Irish post-punk and new wave guitar groups where the lead singer psychotically discusses intelligent social issues debated by the society of the day. Music journalist Mark Beaumont labeled it "crank wave" and also categorized Fontaines D.C., Squid, and Idles as part of the trend.

Although the music has evolved throughout their career, it is based on a left-field dance floor core driven by jumpy drum rhythms, clipped "angular" electric guitar lines, and the Bailey's speak-singing of complex, sardonic statements.
