A spacey meld of minimalist feedback and intense hard rock structures. An effective blend, as difficult to categorize as it is enjoyable to hear. Traces of Jesus and Mary Chain, Sonic Youth, and Black Sabbath can be heard percolating in the mix, but the end result is wholly original.

Known for their dark, earthy atmospherics of guitar feedback, abusive attacks of wah wah, tribal/tuetonic rhythms, rolling melodic basslines, and wavering, lyrically obscured vocals. Combining musical styles from Rock to Metal, from Alternative to Psychedelic, all the while infusing their own signature feedback tapestry throughout.
Just check out the hollowbody Gretsch guitar feedback throughout "Disappear" or their masterpiece "feedback movement" in the breakdown of "Ringworm" or check the intro to "Dogfood" and you'll better understand the genius of this band.
Nudeswirl never reached their full potential as they disbanded after their only major label release. Considered a cult band, almost 20 years later, many new bands on the scene such as the likes of Tool and RadioHead site Nudeswirl amongst their influences and they have been hailed by Perry Farrell, Jon Frusciante and the Edge as well. Nudeswirls' CD has been out of print for a few years, which relegates them further into the depths of cult obscurity.
The last known performance by the band was a reunion show a couple years back at The Court Tavern in New Brunswick, NJ. A video exists of the band playing the Dynamo Open Air Festival in Holland in front of 30,000 people and an MTV Europe interview exists as well. Their two music videos are ocassionally spotted on MTV2 and re-runs of Beavis and Butthead. Interviews and pics from Rip, Kerrang, Spin, Alternative Press, Option and other feature mags will be posted soon. Feel free to submit any pics or press of the band to us.
Where the hell are you guys, no way you quit rocking. I've been listening to this album since i saw it on Bevis and Butthead years ago. I have one of your cds in my car and an extra still wrapped in plastic in my safe at work. its Priceless, and getting harder to find!
Nudeswirl reunite? That just might be better Zepplin or any of the great bands of the day. One of the best cd's I own is the self titled. Even though i own it, whenever I see it I want to buy it again and again.
Heeeey! how cum the F-sharp song don't play no more? And would it be possible to post Gorden's corner plz? Those 2 are really my fav tracks and people should be able to get to know em since the CD is pretty hard to get. I had to get my copy 2nd hand.... Cheerz people, hope you'll be ready to get back together someday and tour the world :)
I am hooked on Gordon's corner, awsum song! I will receive the cd any day now, can't wait to play it. Was pretty hard to find the cd... I will put you in my top friends, thanks for making great music! Cheers,
Someone from USA, please find Nudeswirl members and elect them for the presidents. This way we'll get high-quality music back on track again!! Grunge forever.
Btw, can someone please post here a lyrics of the "Buffalo", it's nowhere to be found.
