19 May 2012: Making music about 'love, loss, pain, drinking and healing,' although not necessarily in that order, The Nightmare River Band was named one of the Top 5 up and coming Alt-Folk bands in NYC by Deli Magazine in 2010. Crowds of revelers have been quick to join the party, clamoring to shout along the lyrics with drinks clutched in their hands. In between playing shows, downing pints and winning over critics, core members Matt Krahula (vocals, guitar, ukulele) and Seth Faulk (drums, vocals) managed to find time to write and record a follow up to their 2009 debut Call The Cops! The new album, Last Goodbye, offers up standouts such as 'Mary.' A demo of that song was nominated for an Independent Music Award for best Alt-Country song of 2010. The full version combines all of the ingredients of The Nightmare River Bands potent blend: foot-stomping rhythms, full arrangements, and a harmonious chorus that everyone can sing along to - even after consuming more than a few beers. The Nightmare River Band has drawn comparisons to alt/folk/country contemporaries such as Mumford and Sons and The Avett Brothers. While this sound is rapidly gaining popularity and bandwagon jumpers, The Nightmare River Band is continuing to do just what theyve done since their formation, taking their music on the road to bring the Nightmare to your town.

10 Apr 2012: The Hearing Aides are a hard rocking, noise mongering power trio from upstate New York. They like to play loud music thats also kind of pretty ... sometimes. Brian Patrik sings and plays raunchy Big Muff-fueled guitar. Mark Adamo beats the holy living hell out of his drum set. Rob Piccola abuses his bass like it just looked at him the wrong way. With their powers combined, the members of The Hearing Aides are assaulting the Capital Region one venue at a time, offering a crash course in ear-bleeding to all the wimpified, so-called 'rock' bands out there. Last year, the debut album 'Go Deaf With The Hearing Aides!', produced by the legendary Don Fury, introduced the world to this trios sonic belligerence - but thats just the tip of the iceberg. Meaner, leaner and armed with new material, The Hearing Aides are poised to unleash even more snarling riffs, pounding rhythms and hummable melodies on unsuspecting audiences all over.
