Nightmare of You is an indie rock band from Long Island, New York, featuring Brandon Reilly, formerly of The Movielife, and Samuel Siegler, formerly of Rival Schools, CIV and glassJAw[1]. They have toured both the US, and the UK both as a headline act and in support of other artists including Circa Survive, AFI, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, and Fall Out Boy. 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[2] 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.
The band originally self-released their debut album on their own label The Bevonshire Label, but have since signed to Atlantic Records imprint Sire Records[3].
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.
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.
