The Nuclears are a twin-guitar party rock ‘n’ roll band based out of Brooklyn, New York. They signed to Fake Chapter Records before the release of 2019’s LP ‘Barrage Rock’. This effort showcases and ties together The Nuclears’ sonic range: from high-energy protopunk, to 70’s glitter rock, to Kinks-ian power pop, to riff-driven heavy metal.
The Nukes were formed in the suburbs of Washington D.C. in the mid-2000’s by high school friends Brian Dudolevitch (vocals/guitar) and Bobby Sproles (bass guitar), along with Brian’s younger brother, Mike (guitar, vocals). They made waves in the DC rock ‘n’ roll scene when they were named Best Garage Rock Band by Little
Steven’s Underground Garage, only to have the title stripped away when it was found out they were too young to be eligible. Nevertheless it earned them a deal with District Records, with whom the band would release their first recording, ‘ Meet the Nuclears.’ Afterwards, The Nukes relocated to Brooklyn where they rounded out their lineup with Kevin Blatchford (drums) and Briana Layon (vocal/percussion/guitar).
