Artist Biography Available in: Nuke and the Living Dead is a "Punk Rock" band from Detroit Michigan formed around December of '02. The story actually begins in the late 90's with "Nuke and the Toxic Offenders", but I'll let Nuke or J Voltage tell you that story. They had plenty of good times and showed most of the midwest a good ol' time too. Mixing angst-ridden punk rock with doo-wop, rockabilly, hardcore and whatever else came into their drunken minds. The world's trouble's pissed them off and so did having to work like slaves in factories and warehouses. So they strayed away from that in their songs and live shows. They braught punkrock back to the local clubs at a time when rap metal ruled the scene! Nuke and the Living Dead focused on uniting punk bands and enjoying good times with there buddies on the weekends. You know, the fun stuff. Don't get me wrong, these guys weren't oblivious to responsibility and reality, they just wanted to get you away from that for a few hours on a Saturday night. I wouldn't necessarily say they broke up, but the troubles with a declining interest in local punk music in Detroit, along with shady "music business" characters made them decide they didn't wanna keep going at it like they were. They stopped rehearsing and getting together after their show on January 20th, 2007 at the Token Lounge. You can find some videos of that show on here and YouTube.
They're all still friends and hang out on occasion. There's always a chance for "reunion" type stuff.
