Nod



Biography

Since 1990, Nod has been releasing music which runs the gamut from experimental to conventional yet always wonderfully astray. The Rochester, NY-based band is led by "Scrappy" Joe Sorriero on guitar and vocals, and rounded out by Tim Poland on bass and Brian Shaffer on drums, as well as occasional 4th member, the mysterious Hugh Edwards.

The Nod muse is a many-hued beast — simultaneously funky, crushing, and just plain spaced out. There is a Shaggs-like innocence in their execution, which shouldn't be mistaken for indifference; precious few rock units become as intimate with their sound as Nod does with their creepy as all get-out caucasoid funk, which swings like Lynfield Pioneers fronted by Drungo LaRue Hazewood.
