A South African, a New Yorker, a Frenchman, and a Michigander entered a rehearsal studio for the first time  with a question. 

When revenge is diabolical and forgiveness feels like defeat, what if there were other options?

When at the proverbial crossroads, dancing with the angel and the devil on your shoulder, what if the solution was more than the simple fabled duality of life ? 

We give you the Nude.

A  dynamic modern rock band hailing from Brooklyn New York, the band converges the worlds metal, funk, punk, and the blues to form contemporary songs of dynamic emotion.  This groundbreaking project delves deep into the complexities of the human psyche, offering a raw and authentic exploration of the soul. With an obstinate disgust for autotune and makeup, the band believes in sharing the purest possibilities  of their craft from the lens of the present. 

Eight months later to the day, they began releasing their debut album. With "Stand and Be Recognized," the Nude invites listeners on an introspective journey, uncovering the hidden depths of the human experience. Written by Luke Bergstedt, recorded by bassist Nick Cageao, and executed with Henry Ott and Derrick Duemler, the album promises to be a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of triumph over loss and suffering. 

This chapter is called, Stand and Be Recognized.
