Background notes

Archive material and source history

American Nightmare was a hardcore punk band that formed in the early 2000s. Their 2002 self-titled album and songs like 'Fuck What Fireworks Stand For' and 'Sore-Throat Syndrome' delivered short, aggressive bursts of music with lyrics that often criticized American society. The band's lineup included vocalist Wes Eisold, guitarist Brian Baker, bassist Jesse James Bennett, and drummer Jarrod Alexander.

They released several records, including 'We're Down Till We're Underground' in 2003 and 'Background Music' in 2008. The song 'Fuck What Fireworks Stand For' became particularly well-known for its critique of patriotic celebrations.

American Nightmare's music stayed loud and direct throughout their run. They didn't last as a band for an especially long time, but their records kept finding listeners in the hardcore scene. The 2006 release 'The Sun Isn't Getting Any Brighter' showed they hadn't softened their approach.
