Nude - Fearless Generation
Decades removed from the Punk ethos of its own Blank Generation rebellion, Nude’s new recording,
“Fearless Generation”, brings the stark reality of today’s burning youth to the forefront by way of stark
minimalist, and overdriven synthesized melodies, that are fused with an addictive proto-organic rhythm
section. This is done without the whiney doom & gloom overkill themes of the previous post punk generation‘s
town criers (ie. Depeche Mode, OMD, etc,). The best example of their survivalist generation’s focal point is that
this stunning release was written, arranged, produced, mixed and finally mastered by the group itself. The group’s
founders and mainstays, swedish Tony Karlsson and his american counterpart Bobby Amaro have been touring all
around the US, Europe, and Latin America. now ready to do it all over. They are accompanied
here by Dave Mattera on the bassguitar. The primary influence of Nude is one of Alternative Rock,
but one that has been progressively integrated with the remnants of Electronica , Indie Rock, Sonic Metal and a
hint of neo- classic punk left from those generations gone past (think The Stranglers with their arpeggiated
keyboards). In challenging the industry with backs against the wall, the band has garnered street credibility by
way of their culturally diverse fan support in countries all over the world with much success as in:
+4.2 million Myspace hits along with +150,000 Myspace Friends, not to forget the additional +5,000 friends
on their new Facebook page. With each pass of a “Fearless Generation”, at least one
of every previous generation’s listeners will find more than one of the varying themes relevant to their own.
And, there lies the beauty, pathos and determination of Nude and their own generation in exploring and
defining their own destiny.
