Nothing but a Nightmare - Music Interview
Nothing but a Nightmare was founded in 2017 by five high school best friends in Langhorne, PA. Offering a mix of alternative, rock and pop, the band has seen some amazing highs in their short time together. In 2018 they released their first two singles, "The Girl from Scandinavia" and "Down That Road No More." The music video for "The Girl from Scandinavia" was a hit with local teens and the press. In February 2019, the band released their debut album "Nostalgia" which received streaming success. Following up, in May 2019, the band opened for Andy Grammer at the "Wilmington Flower Market Festival" and during that same summer, they released three new singles including their top streamed song and music video "Can't Fix Stupid." After a short hiatus the band returned with their latest singles "Sittin' in the Corner (Friday Night in Boston)" and "Living in a Lie."
What got you into music?
All of us have always played so we just really wanted to play as friends, but eventually it turned into a career for us.
What is your favorite part about being an artist? Is it songwriting, performing, recording, something else? Tell us why.
Definitely performing live. Hearing kids sing our lyrics is the best feeling.
Can you tell us what being in the recording studio is like for you?
Definitely fun. We use Eddie's (Lead Singer) home studio, so it's a relaxed environment.
As a songwriter or musician, are there any obstacles you have had to overcome or obstacles that you are facing right now in your career?
For sure the current pandemic. It's scary. However, we know we'll come out of it stronger and will do well once it's all over.
Who do you admire most in the music scene today and why?
Panic! at the Disco. The band's high energy and Brendon Urie's positivity is something we take pride in carrying out.
To date, what do you think your best song is? Can you describe the song for us?
"Can't Fix Stupid" probably. The song has a genius music video and has a great them that's reminiscent of the Great Gatsby.

Yes we're working on our second studio album "Kleptomania" due to release in Summer 2020.
