Nightmare of You is an indie rock band from Long Island, New York, featuring Brandon Reilly, formerly of The Movielife. They have toured both the US, and the UK both as a headline act and in support of other artists including AFI, Fall Out Boy, She Wants Revenge, Brand New, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, and Circa Survive. They have previously been nominated for mtvU Woodie awards for Best Tour and Most Downloaded.

They were also the winners of Yahoo! Music's "Who's Next?" competition[1] for the month of April 2006, a competition that has the potential to propel the winners into mainstream prominence. Past winners include My Chemical Romance, Coheed and Cambria, and Hinder.

[edit] History

The band originally self-released their debut album on their own label The Bevonshire Label, and licensed it to East West Records In the US and Full Time Hobby in the UK. In the Spring of 2007 The Bevonshire Label split with East West Records.

Three singles, with accompanying videos, were released from the self-titled album. The singles were "My Name Is Trouble", "The Days Go by Oh So Slow" and "I Want to Be Buried In Your Backyard". All three videos have been featured predominately on the Fuse TV shows Steven's Untitled Rock Show and Oven Fresh.

Their song "Dear Scene, I Wish I Were Deaf" was featured in the EA Sports, FIFA '07 video game.

They have been known to joke about other bands during their live shows, most notably 30 Seconds to Mars, but also including bands such as Panic at the Disco and the Plain White T's.

Nightmare of You self-released a 5-song EP entitled 'Bang!' on September 11 of 2007. Nightmare Of You went out on tour in support of their EP with a headlining tour of the US in May/June 2008.

In 2008, Nightmare Of You recruited new drummer Michael Fleischmann (formerly of Permanent ME (Drums)]], and begun writing for their next full length record. At a show on December 29 2008, Nightmare Of You announced they would be entering the studio in early January to start recording. As of the end of January, there are currently two videos on their myspace page of edited studio footage.


Nightmare Of You have announced in a recent interview that their new record will be entitled Infomaniac, and it will be released on August 4th, 2009 via The Bevonshire Label. Nightmare Of You have also revealed that they will embarking on a six week national headlining tour this summer to support their upcoming release.
