Native Nod

[1] Chris and Danny Leo met Justin Simon at a skatepark in Bloomfield, New Jersey and became friends through their shared appreciation of music.

[2] Native Nod played many of their early shows at ABC No Rio, where they helped grow a scene that detested the often violent hardcore attitudes of CBGB's.

Through fanmail and growing interest in emo from the Midwest, the band played a formal last show at the Center Unitarian Church in Paramus with Current, Angel Hair, and The Yah Mos.

Guitarist Justin Simon played in We Acediasts while living in Japan before relocating to New York and establishing Mesh-Key Records.

[3] In 2022, Numero Group announced that they would be reissuing the band's discography,[4] starting with the Answers EP and ending with a new compilation titled This Can't Exist released on September 1, 2023.
