American Ink
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
About
American Ink is an independent Boston-based alternative rock band comprised of drummer Nick Fauza, guitarist Michael Romano, and bassist Aidan Crotty. Their debut EP, Hand-Drawn Hearts, features a combination of upbeat, nostalgic pop-punk instrumentation and thoughtful lyricism. The follow-up to Hand-Drawn Hearts, 2019’s Please Forget You Knew My Name, explores everything from hardcore punk to acoustic-driven balladry and includes the most confessional, intimate lyrics they’ve penned to date. Mary Menzemer from the online publication Sound of Boston describes it as a “vulnerable and slightly experimental album that hearkens back to the glory days of emo. . . American Ink somehow successfully manages to stay relatable while creating trendy, yet nostalgic, music”. In January 2021, they released Up Next On... which adds a new window of experimental production (mixed and mastered by band member Nick Fauza) to American Ink's already-known unique sound. Their latest release; full length album “What I See, What People See”, comes full circle, with a vast range of new experimentalism and professionalism to their sound, whilst maintaining the punch, emotion, and character that they desire to keep contiguous. With their seemingly never-ending new spree of singles, as well as other big plans for the near future, the amount of sub-genres applicable to their sound just keeps growing, as the puzzle pieces for American Ink's dream start to slowly piece together.
