Front man Brandon Reilly began his musical career as a local musician for various local hardcore bands. Reilly’s reputation became firmly established when he joined the pop-punk group, the Movielife, as the band’s lead guitarist. His four-year stint as the Movielife’s lead guitarist gave Reilly recognition even on a national level, but the group eventually disbanded.

In 2003, Brandon Reilly put together the band Nightmare of You. He enlisted the aid of high school buddy Joseph McCaffrey and the rest of the band followed. Nightmare of You used to release their music under their own record label, The Bevonshire Label, before signing with Sire Records.

When asked about his songwriting, Nightmare of You’s Brandon Reilly has been quoted to say “Writing is therapeutic,” Reilly insists. “I have [always] been dysfunctional [that’s] probably why my lyrics come across as dark. But you have to have a decent sense of humor about what cards you are dealt in life.”
