After the band parted ways, he became the guitarist of The Movielife and then eventually formed Nightmare of You. The band originally self-released their debut album on their own label, The Bevonshire Label. They licensed it to East West Records in the US and Full Time Hobby in the UK. Three singles, with accompanying music videos, were released from the self-titled album. The singles included "My Name Is Trouble", "The Days Go by Oh So Slow" and "I Want to Be Buried in Your Backyard". All three videos were featured on the Fuse TV shows ''Steven's Untitled Rock Show'' and ''Oven Fresh''. Another song from the album, "Dear Scene, I Wish I Were Deaf", was also featured in the EA Sports video game, ''FIFA 07''. In the Spring of 2007 The Bevonshire Label split with East West Records. Nightmare of You then self-released a five song EP, entitled ''Bang!'', on September 11, 2007. They toured in support of the EP with a headlining tour of the US in May/June 2008. In 2008, the band recruited drummer Michael Fleischmann (formerly of Permanent ME), and began writing for their next studio album. Longtime friend and Brooklyn-based musician Brandon Meyer joined the band on bass in December 2008, replacing original bassist Ryan Heil, playing his first show with the group on December 29, 2008 at the Crazy Donkey in Long Island, NY. The band then entered the studio in January 2009 to begin recording their sophomore full-length record. The new album, Infomaniac, was recorded at the Magic Shop Studio in the SOHO section of New York City in January 2009, co-produced by the band and Brian Thorn. The record was reportedly recorded and tracked in just a couple of weeks, with 16-hour sessions. Various video updates were posted on the band's MySpace page throughout the sessions, keeping fans in the loop. The new album was finished shortly thereafter, entitled ''Infomaniac'' and was released through The Bevonshire Label on August 4, 2009. On May 18, 2009 ''Spin'' magazine released a download on their website of a new song entitled "I Think I'm Getting Older", which is the lead track off of ''Infomaniac''. Nightmare of You started touring again in 2009, seeing the band first headline a UK tour in April (with support by Philadelphia-based band Jukebox the Ghost), followed directly by a support slot on the Alkaline Trio/Saves the Day tour in the United States. After a three-week break, the band then set out on its own 6-week US headlining tour in June/July of '09, seeing the band play more than 35 cities in anticipation of the new ''Infomaniac'' album release. On December 10, 2009, Nightmare of You played a gig at Binghamton University. At this show, Reilly announced that he would be departing for Italy thus placing the band on an indefinite hiatus. Nothing has been posted on the official Nightmare of You website, but the band's Facebook and Twitter posts indicate that the band is currently working on new music. Confirmed on Nightmare of You's Twitter page, Brandon is back from Italy and doing solo shows. On May 10, 2012, they released a new song entitled "Out Of My Mind" on (their website ). In July, Brandon Reilly released "Give Us A Kiss" on (their website ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nightmare of You」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
