Following the success of their self-titled debut, Nightmare of You is back with an explosive 5-song EP rightfully titled Bang. Driving guitars, pounding beats and master wordplay throughout, these brilliantly crafted, hook-laden pop songs firmly establish Nightmare of You as songsmiths of the highest order.
I keep wandering around humming "I Think I'm Getting Older".. Much the same way I was wandering around for a good nine months last year humming the chorus of "Bang" (before I knew what it was called, of course) following your show in January.
THAT'S A GOOD SIGN, RIGHT?
You were in my dream the other night. can't remember why, I don't really care why to be honest, I just know you were there, that's enough for me.
i always look forward to your twitter messages guys haha. and i wonder if this is the new demo that brandon and joe were working on because it sounds amazing :D
Aleksus, or however that was spelled. Brandon, I believe, did an acoustic cover of Jets To Brazil's song "Sweet Avenue" off their album Orange Rhyming Dictionary. This is probably what you're thinking of. The acoustic cover is still available to hear and download on his personal myspace: http://www. myspace. com/brandonkreilly
Hey, anyone know the song NOY covered once, it's acoustic all the way through, and it was from an album with something like 'orange' in the title. I once found it on myspace, wondering if any of you have come across it and can remind me of it? i'm going mad looking for it... thanks. Also, NOY if you guys read this, please help me?
So I love the new demo. Of course I do, I love everything Nightmare of You does :D and that's no lie. I can't wait to hear more. Have fun recording more amazing songs! I'm gonna make it my profile song!
the cool thing about demos is the raw sound of it, it's like a live acoustic set if you close your eyes and pretend hard enough, which is downright cool with me. either that or someone slipped me something in my drink and i'm trippin', just kidding. i love the new song, and i'm sure it will sound even more amazing, if that's at all possible, when it comes time to put it through the magic of production.
I had the worst day today. I won't bore you with details, but it involed almost thirteen hours of Spanish homework, many cancelled plans, various people angry with me, and many opportunities to be a total bitch, which I unfortunately took advantage of. I apologize for not being nicer about your demo. I really do like it. It's a new sound, definitely. I sort of had a taste of that in You're Very Dear To Me, I noticed. And I can't wait for more.
So anyways, I really could not find a way to make myself feel any better today. I was curled up on my IKEA couch, tired of conjugating foreign verbs, when I realized all I needed was Noy. So now Why Am I Always Right is playing too loud for the neighbors in my room. This comment is so cliche. You're so perfect. Thank you for existing, I appreciate you way more than it seems like I do.
Damn you for making Twitter updates about new songs when I'm out running errands and unable to come home and listen to it!!
On the other hand, BLESS YOU FOR POSTING A DEMO! :D Like all your songs, it's catchy and just gets better every time. It sounds almost mystical, and it's got less of an quick upbeat sound and more of a flowing one. I can't really explain it, but it makes me sway!
And of course, the lyrics hit home and make me love even more the way your minds work!!!
