"Portland’s genre-defying chaos crew Nasalrod have never been ones to play it safe. Their latest single, The Maker, is a whirlwind of punk intensity, jagged rhythms, and theatrical vocal acrobatics—exactly the kind of unhinged energy you’d expect from a band that thrives on the unpredictable."
“Harsh, hard...catchy, weird, arty...a very unique blend…defies category”

“Name All the Punk and Metal Cameos in Nasalrod’s New Music Video—if You Can!”
-The Portland Mercury (feature article on “The Maker” video)
“They slay.”
“Spit is one of the most unique and deeply rocking drummers I’ve ever seen.”
“Intelligent, challenging, and abrasive-yet-engaging music tempered by a biting sense of humor.” - Jimmy Alvarado
“Raucous and radically defiant…the ornery four go for the arena rock aorta with a party crashing cavalcade of confidence and cavalier fancy like a quartet of swashbucklers making a musical mutiny on stage.”
“Ferocious art punk…Nodding at points to such influences as '70s power-pop icons Cheap Trick, the '90s noise-rock of the Jesus Lizard and a variety of experimental bands including the Minutemen and NoMeansNo…Nasalrod has established itself as one of the most explosive live bands on the Portland scene.” - Dave Pehling
“Nasalrod’s live performances exceed expectations, with vocalist Chairman embodying an unhinged hybrid of David Yow, Keith Morris, and Mike Patton, rarely standing still and typically hovering about four feet off the ground. The dynamic, rhythmic interplay between bassist Mandy Morgan, drummer Spit Stix (of LA punk legends FEAR), and guitarist Mustin Douch is easily one of the most formidable aural attacks in the city.” - Ryan J.
