Dylan Nirvana & The Bad Flowers: Home

New York City’s book-smart trio Dylan Nirvana & The Bad Flowers may be getting set to record the silver-screen style new song REBOUND GIRL. "I mixed the demo at JFK airport watching all these people. Some of them have broken hearts with subtitles and stories in their faces. Can't you just hear this in some movie?" With the new CD - ANNE BOLEYN (with the song AUTOMATIC) out on Icarian Records, The Bad Flowers will be releasing US tour dates in the coming weeks. 

As an artist Dylan Nirvana shows himself to be some kind of literary rocker. The biggest influences might paradoxically be the Sex Pistols and the Smiths. But it may be hard to tell if its Rotten or Morrissey that is the main inspiration.

While the first EP Pentagonal Flower recieved radio play in the US & UK, Dylan Nirvana's new record Anne Boleyn (Icarian Records) is a punk retelling of Anne Boleyn's lust, torture and redemption that is finding it's way into more than just the minds eye. Model Caitlin Lyon plays Anne Boleyn in the music video Ganymede directed by Alex Engel with Fat Boy Productions. Both records Pentagonal Flower and Anne Boleyn were produced by Walter Manning of Brunswick Records and are available in stores and on  Anne Apple iTunes
