Cloud Nothings is an American indie-rock band from Cleveland, Ohio, founded by singer-songwriter Dylan Baldi.
While attending Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland,
Baldi would return to his parents' basement in Westlake,
Ohio, to record music using GarageBand. He later created several fake bands, each with their own
Myspace page. Baldi created the music "for personal enjoyment,
to see if I could write a song that was better than the last song I wrote." One of the fake bands Baldi
created was Cloud Nothings.

Name Origin:
Dylan explains:
"I had a list of band names written down since I was in ninth grade and I looked at that list and picked it.
I don’t even really know. The name might have had some meaning at some point, but honestly
I don’t have an answer for that anymore."
"That was it—just Crazy Dorm Stories and Cloud Nothings [on the list]. And good thing I picked Cloud Nothings."
