American Nightmare is a Blue Collar Rock-N-Roll band from the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. Our assemblage is as follows: Rod - Vocals & Rythm Guitar; Jared - Lead Guitar & Backing Vocals; Tony - Bass; Brian - Drums.

We characterize our music as 'Rock-N-Roll' infused with tones, stylings, and lyrical content of 'Roadhouse Blues'.

Preoccupied with the darker side of life, Rod's lyrics are seeded with exploits of self indulgence and overwhelming humility. Our songs are an ode to the torment associated with guilty pleasures, and inescapable fate.

Sonic elements you're likely to pick up on in our music can be attributed to influences like: The Cult, The Doors, Danzig, MC-5, Johnny Cash, The Animals, The Cure, Link Wray, and countless others.
