20th century boys
We were 20th century boys
playing with toys in the backyard
the grass beneath our feet
Next thing I knew, I was living my life
in a cubicle five days a week
What I would give to go back to those days
in the backyard with dirt on my knees
Oh, oh
The regional heat has been getting to me
Every morning, my car is on fire
And I can't do better than anything ever
so I think I'll just call you a liar
The American corporate dream
comes complete with a handgun and tie
and everything you'll ever need
wrapped in a box and stamped $1.99
Oh, oh
You were in bed this morning
your chest moving upwards and down to the beat
Music was coming from the backyard
Clouds overcast and a nice cool breeze
You got dressed, made your way outside
Your neighbors were having a barbecue
You should join them
"No thank you"

A bite-size serving of power pop from a rising Virginia band equipped with three different guitarists; riff snobs won't be disappointed. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 18, 2024
Lo-fi indie that recalls the glory days of Shrimper and Shimmy Disc, where rock-solid melodies sit inside rickety instrumentation. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 5, 2022
The terrific new record from Nyxy Nyx recalls the best of the early ’90s—slow-moving, shoegaze-adjacent songs with woozy melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 11, 2022
Razor-edged, scorched-throat songs that take a sledgehammer to rock & roll and reassemble the pieces into jagged, deadly pieces. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 5, 2021
