No Stupid Questions

We’ve all heard a downtrodden teacher try to coax their students into raising their hand by gently reminding them “There’s no such thing as a stupid question…”

The problem is, that isn’t true, and NSQ makes music for the people at the back of the class, asking stupid questions that no one wants to know the answers to.

NSQ arrived at New York the long way: trekking from the flannels of Seattle to the polos of Long Island before joining forces at a cramped Brooklyn bar on a Saturday afternoon in 2022. Like most bands that form in Brooklyn bars, they put their musical influences in the shaker and drank the contents, creating a sonic cocktail consisting of equal parts indie alternative and Americana, with a dash of Dadrock and a grungy garnish.

Bearded singer/songwriter Brian Cropp, guitarist and stressed-out producer Jake Baynum, bass player with the big pants Adam Keltz, and alarmingly laid-back drummer Kevin Socolow put their roughly three brains together to perform on the sticky-floored venues across New York City, spilling beers and writing songs along the way.

Now if you’ll please press play, put down your phone, and lower your hand, we can finally conclude the lecture and begin the show.

Any questions?
