'''''Nothing Ever Changes''''' is a demo cassette by [[The Smashing Pumpkins]], released prior to [[Jimmy Chamberlin]] and [[D'arcy Wretzky]] joining the band. It featured drummer [[Ron Roesing]] from Billy's former band, [[The Marked]]. Although a tape of the four-song configuration listed below exists, the original ''Nothing Ever Changes'' was about 60 minutes in length and was [[Billy Corgan|Corgan]]'s first attempt at a full-length album; it contained a combination of songs, spoken word selections (recalled as "bad poetry"), and instrumentals.
