Our audition was rejected with the reasoning “you don’t take music seriously.”
For those familiar with NBW lore, this moment would be the genesis of the experimental 2008 song “We Don’t Take Music Seriously” which was a foreshadowing of the type of music we’d go on to make.
19 years ago we held a band practice, which was I believe, an audition tape for the high school Battle of the Bands. My recollection is that this pic is from that. My memory is fuzzy. This would have been taken in between “Jumping the Shark” and “Advanced at Nothing.”
Seth Faergolzia of Multibird!!!
We’re playing with fellow Needlejuice artist SETH FAERGOLIZIA’s Multibird on Feb 10 in Birmingham AL! Come see us at The Firehouse!!
Check out this really neat article from a Nuclear Bubble Wrap fan's perspective on several older releases including the Heady Exxxplosions box set!
Thank you all for listening and for all the attention our album Exploding Head Syndrome is getting lately
Today the chart asks about our favorite… “dual narrator song”?
What’s that, like, a song where Kyle and I share lead vocals?
Night Mare? What else is there?
What is your favorite song from our 2014 album Psycho Delicacy? 🤡 🐍
Hard for me to say, but I think Radiation Mutation Transformation. It was THE song that pushed the overall musical direction of the album.
Today’s question: what is the trippiest NBW song? 👁️
Time is an Illusion is my pick, especially after finishing the “redux” version!
Favorite song from Abracadaver? 🪄
That EP was intended to be a “bridge EP” between the “comedy music” era and the new “psychedelic” era. It featured several of the “best” cuts from EHS and a few new songs.
Sharktopus is the staple track from it. 🦈
🌈 Today the 15th, we ask… WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE GAY SONG BY NUCLEAR BUBBLE WRAP???
We recommend you check out the brand new music video for Pansexual Pantheist!
Today we look at… favorite song from Exploding Head Syndrome OR Graze the Skylines??
Although they were recorded at the same time, they are very different.
I like Revolution 42. We worked on it over a span of years! It was originally going to be on a “beatles parody” album.
And what is our finest innuendo/sex joke song???
Intelligent Design is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written tbh. 🦖
I was so busy yesterday I forgot to do this!
You Are What You Eat? A pretty bad EP really. But “Fan Fiction” was a mini-hit so I can’t complain much.
Favorite character based on an NBW song or album?
I gotta go with the clown that appears on the entire psychedelic trilogy album covers. 🤡
November 9 sees us pondering our favorite "Pokemon song." I guess we have enough to choose from?
"Still Alive Uranium" could have been an ok parody, but I think it misses the mark.
(Did we inspire the fan-made Pokemon Uranium game with that?)
"Raichu a Song" remains the GOAT.
Advanced at Nothing is the final album in the “high school trilogy” - the largely forgotten amateur albums.
“ScienLOLojyuuichi” is obviously the “best” song on it, being that it was our first viral hit ever.
But a standout is “We Don’t Take Music Seriously.”
Today we ask… what unreleased (non album track) songs of ours do you listen to?
There’s an unreleased outtake from Problem Attic called “Two Daddies” that I wish was out there. It’ll be released soon. There’s a demo on Bandcamp.
A long time ago we did song parodies.
What’s your favorite song parody in our catalog?
I have a soft spot for “Bare Facts” personally. We nailed the sound. I memorized the hell out of that iconic drum fill at the end!
Now, I channel my parody ideas into Holy Bongwater.
Today, we ask… what’s your favorite song on our 2nd high school album, Jumping the Shark with Style?
“Oxymoron” was probably the first signal of what Nuclear Bubble Wrap would eventually become. This was our first attempt at doing something outside of our usual style.
Favorite NBW song about space or aliens? 👽 🪐
As we finish up Multiverses Redux, I have to shout out Lone Ranger which has become one of the finest sounding psychedelic songs in our catalog. With an honorable mention to the new mix of “Andromeda” which sounds SO different now
What’s your “favorite” song from the high school era?
We think “ScientLOLojyuuichi” is the obvious best one.
Wow, those forums are a throwback! Yeah, I posted a lot of early recordings there.
What’s a song you (perhaps ironically) like from our horrible album “Something Stupid This Way Comes”?
I may be biased, but “When I Grow Up I’m Gonna be a Mongoose” has a long history as a pre-NBW “Weirdo Jace” song, so to me it’s the most significant.
NBWVEMBER BEGINS NOW. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE.
First NBW song you ever heard?
For me it would be “I Don’t Let My Band Members Sing” - the first song we ever recorded. 🥳
🎃 🔪 “The Halloween That Came Before November the First.”
Can you believe the demo of this song was even more disturbing?
Drawing(s?) based on @nuclearbubblewrap.bsky.social's Radiation Mutation Transformation, featuring both Emerald "Psycho Delicacy" Eyes and Event "Abracadaver" Horizon
The final Dr. Demento Show ever is available on his website now.
I wouldn’t be the artist I am today without him. Nothing in my life would be the same.
One of the most amazing and supportive people ever.
Honored that “Raichu a Song” made his 2010 retrospective show.
OCTOBER 15 at The Cobra in Nashville...
We're playing with Mr. Quack Like A Duck himself.🦆
The internet-legendary band GOAT and Your MOM.
Also playing: Gary Busey punk band, The Gunpowder Plot, and San Pedro
Doors 7, show at 7:30.
Can U Quack?
First ever Nuclear Bubble Wrap performance of “Piggy Bastards” incoming. Finally!!! 🐽 🚨
