Album Notes & Community Reviews

American Nightmare's debut full-length is a landmark of Boston hardcore, Wes Eisold's lyrics of alienation and self-hatred delivered over fast, stripped-down arrangements. 'Background Music' helped define the introspective turn in American hardcore before the band renamed itself Give Up the Ghost.
