The Nocturnal Affair

Discovered by Grammy nominated Disturbed bassist John Moyer, Las Vegas dark rockers The Nocturnal Affair are an alternative/dark rock project headed by singer/songwriter Brendan Shane. The band’s crushing and melancholic musical style is an ode to darker alternative music torchbearers like Type O Negative, HIM, David Bowie, Gary Numan, and Nine Inch Nails.

Nocturnal has toured extensively throughout the US, UK, and Europe, getting in their 10,000 hours performing alongside a wide array of artists including Fozzy, Wednesday 13, Max Cavalera’s NAILBOMB, Drowning Pool, HELLYEAH, Asking Alexandria, and Pop Evil. While also being accessible enough to share the stage with notable mainstream acts like 3 Doors Down, Black Stone Cherry and Alien Ant Farm.

In the Fall of 2024, the band released their single “Cross Me Out”, co-written by active-rock songwriting heavyweight Johnny Andrews (Ice Nine Kills, Starset, The Funeral Portrait, Motionless In White). The single reached Top 30 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Radio chart, #3 on the SMR Radio Rock chart and racked up 3 MIL views to date on YouTube. Their follow up singles ‘Benefit of Doubt’ and a heavy rock take on Haddaway's 1993 pop guilty pleasure ‘What Is Love”, have clocked another combined 7 million views on Youtube and counting. These head-turning numbers and high show energy has many plaudits claiming ‘they don’t make ‘em like that anymore…until now!’
