Tired of staring down at his shoes and replying, "I just play under my own name," Alex Sniderman formed The Nu-Sonics with drummer Melissa Houston and bassist Scott Anthony. Fans compare the Brooklyn band's sound to the ringing hooks of power pop icons Big Star rubbed up against the grit of Neil Young & Crazy Horse, or the results of Elvis Costello's imaginary songwriting collaborations with Keith Richards.
"touches of Elvis C., Replacements, and even Kinks...what's not to
love?"—Lach, Anti-Folk founder.

"You guys have that Big Star vs. Crazy Horse thing"—Jason Loewenstein,

"Alex Sniderman is another song-writing master. His musical touchstones are classic. His lyrics are so heartfelt and honest that I
have to look away sometimes. How did such a young guy from Brooklyn
figure all these things out already?"
Liz Bustamante - FORESTROXX Blog
"If you hate the mushy side of sunshine pop, this is a first class antidote to fill your sweet tooth."
Chris Spector - Midwest Record
“It sounds like [Sniderman's] been absorbing Memphis power-pop and 1972's Lou Reed, with "Nice Guys" illustrating his melodic flair."
”
Edd Hurt - Nashville Scene
"While [Sniderman's] real destiny is making a mint off the 18th song on some blockbuster film soundtrack, it’d still be nice to stumble into these guys (‘n’ gal) playing in some sawdust-on-the-floor dive in Lower Manhattan."
