CORE would proudly like to introduce one of the first Toronto bands to join the CORE collective: The Nightmares, an explosive, high energy 4-piece rock band formed during the early months of 2009. I would describe the band's style as hyper-melodic, hook-laden garage punk anthems on steroids/too much redbull. The band's sound is consistent with very distinct imagery and visuals that give off a 'classic horror film' vibe with an equal dose of comic book graphics and a whole lot of aggressive energy. Their most recent video for Static State directed by Peter J Arvidsson and the ELEKTRIK PLAYGROUND is a prime example of their sound and image. The video has the band performing in a forest, a mansion and a graveyard. All seeming to be hellish, demonic and haunted. The video itself follows in a style similar to Zack Snyder (300) or Spartacus Blood and Sand, mixing animation and live action with hyperreal violence and pacing. Recently, The Nightmares released their self-titled debut EP recorded at the Flat Soda Studio with Matt Pomade of the Creepshow and have released it independently through Black Coffin Records.
The EP - produced by Peter Arvidsson (Dumper, Robin Black) - hopes to garner the band some attention from both the local and global music community and set the band apart from others by establishing themselves as a talented and determined young band with the potential to do big things. The band is currently promoting their debut self-titled EP which has been released worldwide on iTunes.
The Nightmares will be performing live at the CORE Toronto Showcase this coming fall, check back for details!
