AMERICAN NIGHTMARE ‘BACKGROUND MUSIC’ LP (Limited Edition – Only 250 Made, Half Clear / Half Black Vinyl)

LABEL: EQUAL VISION RECORDS
VINYL RELEASE DATE: 09/08/2023
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 06/12/2001
VARIANT: Half Clear / Half Black Vinyl LP

Though singer Wes Eisold kicks off American Nightmare’s debut album with the words “This is the soundtrack to saying goodbye,” Background Music marked a riotous introduction — not just for the Boston band, but for a broader scene of early ‘00s youth crew revivalists mixing defiantly melodic hardcore hooks with achingly personal wordplay. Poetic and punishing, it’s a record that betrays its album title, demanding to be cranked as loud as possible.   

This exclusive LP vinyl variant is on “Half Clear / Half Black” and limited to only 250 copies, so order yours today!
