Biography:

With a vision that borders on myopic, Nixon's Head continues to bust through the nooks and crannies of the 3-minute pop song with a sound the Camden Courier-Post aptly characterized as "The Standells meet Squeeze." The band paved its own way onto the Philadelphia underground scene in 1986 with the self-produced EP The Doug Factor… Another EP; a single; and many raised, beer-soaked fists followed until the usual suspects ground operations to a halt in 1991.

Since reforming in 1998, these Philadelphia torchbearers for garage-pop have released 2 critically acclaimed CDs, Gourmet and Take It!, and appeared on numerous comps. A new album of darker material, Enemies List, was released on July 21, 2009.
