"Intense, eclectic solo artist with influences mixing Pixies, early Radiohead, Prince and all things 1984."

Joe Nacco began his career 10 years ago with the indie-classic alt rock band HEAD. 6 solo albums later the two-homed Nacco remains Upstate NY's top recording artist and one of Huntington Beach's finest. Nacco has performed across the United States from L.A. to N.Y.C. playing with acts such as G. Love and Special Sauce and Rahzell. Nacco has won several Songwriting Awards and charted several times on Indie stations throughout the U.S. and Australia. Nacco has held several number one spots on Internet Radio.

After a two-year hiatus, 2008 brings the simultaneous release of two new albums No One Likes a Ballad (the quirky over-the-top 80's tinged rock and new-wave album recorded in Upstate NY) and This is California (a powerful and emotional indie-rock album recorded in Huntington Beach, CA with Nacco on ALL instruments).

No One Likes a Ballad features the hits "Faker," "Crazy Scientologist," "Drive Me Crazy," & "O Baby!" "Faker" is being featured in the Sundance Film Festival documentary Spitting Game: The College Hook Up. "Escape" and "On Your Side" have won honorable mentions in the 2007 Billboard Songwriting Contest.

This is California features the new smash-hit "Who You Once Were" as well as "Done Gone Crazy," "For You" & "Catch You." Awards and accolades pending...

These albums will be released May 1, 2008 in digital outlets and stores worldwide. Samples of tracks can be heard right here on MySpace!!
