Buddy Nielsen's band has been delivering intense, personal rock since 2002.
For the blend of intensity and melody, 'Buried a Lie' still hits. 'Can't Be Saved' shows how that sound held up years later.
They came out of Ridgewood, New Jersey in 2002 with a sound that felt immediate, melodic vocals over driving guitars, lyrics that didn't shy from personal struggle. Songs like 'Buried a Lie' from their 2004 debut 'Let It Enfold You' set the template, and 'Can't Be Saved' from 2010's 'The Fire' became one of their most recognized tracks. The music stays direct, sometimes heavy, anchored in Nielsen's vocal delivery.
Formed in 2002 with Nielsen on vocals and Garrett Zablocki on guitar, they released 'Let It Enfold You' in 2004. The lineup shifted over the years with members like Dan Trapp and Heath Saraceno coming through, but they kept recording and touring, maintaining a presence without the dramatic rise-and-fall narrative some bands from that era experienced.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
