Nightmare Boyzzz was an American power pop/pop punk band formed in Florence, Alabama, active from 2010 to 2014.
History
Nightmare Boyzzz formed in 2010, going through several lineup changes early on. The band was inspired by The Beach Boys, garage rock music, and the soul music scene developed in nearby Muscle Shoals.[1] Their live performances mainly took place outside the Florence/Muscle Shoals area, such as at The Bottletree in Birmingham.[1] The quintet attended SXSW in 2012 and 2013. [1]
Their first 7" single, Say What You Mean, was issued in 2011 by Florence-based Arkam Records, followed by Nuclear Summer on Happenin Records.[1] They issued a split cassette with the Younger Siblings, a Birmingham-based group, in 2012.[1] In November 2013, their debut album, Bad Patterns, was released. Sean Äaberg from PORK designed the cover art.[2] Lead guitarist Justin Crumpton and drummer Josh Lynchard left the band prior to release, and the group added three new members: lead guitarist Josh Macero, rhythm guitarist Jimmy Simpson, and drummer "Tino".[2]
