The Nod released their first commercial album last year, the Shoddy Heart EP , on the Yes Please Records imprint of Yes Please Media. It’s six tracks are a mix of indie and alternative rock, with a twist of quirkiness that is becoming something of a hallmark for these three. It is currently available on CDBaby, iTunes, and Bandcamp, with the option of a pay-what-you-want download from Bandcamp. With a lineup firmly in place and this EP under their belt, The Nod is just getting started. Shows are slated throughout the Midwest, and the eagerly awaited full-length successor to Shoddy Heart is due for a 2010 release. Look forward to bigger and better things from The Nod in the near future!
