A band birthed 18 months ago in the belly of Madison, WI, The Nod is well past its infancy, though still nibbles on the easily-digested rewards of each live show- playing for people, catching adrenaline buzz, having a PBR with fans and friends, hearing new bands, forming new allies, and contributing a little more to the music scene with each performance.
The Nod’s Shoddy Heart EP will be released in July of 2009. An organic and upbeat record, the disc encompasses truthful songs molded from stories of loss, gain, selfishness, selflessness, guilt, elation, regret, and optimism.
The record acknowledges that what goes around comes around…to some degree, only some of the time. We’ve all been stabbed in the heart before, figuratively…hopefully. Sometimes we return the favor and stick someone else right back. Either way, we get burned, but we wouldn’t play with fire if it wasn’t a little bit of fun. Right?
THE NOD HAS PLAYED ALONGSIDE THE FOLLOWING BANDS:
Third Eye Blind, OK GO, Cage the Elephant, Locksley, Bowling for Soup, Fever Marlene, RJD2, Maritime, We the Living, and a mass assortment of other fine musicians.
There is currently a search for two types of bands for record label consideration.
