Your Best Nightmare Lives In Warren County

Written By Mike Greenblatt

Girl has a chip on her shoulder. She calls herself Your Best Nightmare. Her album is entitled Your Best Nightmare Presents: A Simple Solution for Toxic Masculinity. (We won’t belabor the point by offering spoilers.) The Hackettstown hellraiser used to be known for bubblegum punk and mastery of the ukulele. Now she writes horror-themed narratives with genre-defying musical prowess. The 11 tracks that comprise the Simple Solution move beyond punk into the realm of pop-prog (if there is such a thing) incorporating her warped version of classic rock doused with the rebel-yell of blunt folk and art-rock.
