The Nude Party is a seven-piece American band originating from North Carolina, that consists of Austin Brose, Alec Castillo, Shaun Couture, Patton Magee, Don Merrill, Conor Mikita and Jon “Catfish” Delorme.
[1] Patton Magee and Austin Brose linked up with childhood friends Connor Mikita and Alec Castillo, before being joined by step brothers Shaun Couture & Zachary Merrill.
[2] At the end of their freshman year, the group of friends moved into a lake house outside of town and began learning their respective instruments to jam on rudimentary riffs and their favorite garage rock songs.
[12] Debut single release “Chevrolet Van '' caught the attention of the wider music sphere and in particular Alex Turner who declared it one of his top five favorite songs to Matt Wilkson on his Beats 1 Radio show.
DIY declared the band "the coolest motherfuckers on the block"[4] and American Songwriter lavished praise saying The Nude Party "blow the roof off but do it with style and class, nodding to the past without slavishly imitating it".
Released during the global COVID-19 pandemic, the album's first single "Shine Your Light" premiered with an official music video in July 2020, followed by “Lonely Heather”, “What's The Deal?”, "Pardon Me, Satan" and "Cure Is You”.
