Think power quartet with mandolin, electric piano, and percussion.


Prepare your ears for a new sound from Chicago. Not just another indie-rock band, BUDDY NUISANCE is a forward-looking combination of pop melodicism, intricate rhythms, and well-crafted arrangements. BN offers you an eclectic mix of upbeat songs with the goal of keeping you, the listener, involved and moving.

Supporting their self-titled debut, BUDDY NUISANCE will capture your heart and your attention with their brand of thinking-man's pop. The members of BUDDY NUISANCE describe themselves as being "slaves to the music and each composition. We put what's right for each song ahead of fitting into what we've decided the band should sound like and we don't chase trends."

Influenced by the hooks and rhythmic interest of the Police, the rock sounds of The Who, Pearl Jam, and Blind Melon, and the songwriting of everyone from Joni Mitchell to Jeff Buckley, BUDDY NUISANCE bring a lot of history to their band identity.

Some call it inteli-pop.
Some call it indie-rock.
Some call it pop-rock.

Labels aside, we'd rather just say intelli-gent, inde-pendent, and pop-ular.
