Formed in March of 2002, Nuthugger has made many efforts to find a unique sound, like no other band out there. Their "back to basics" guitar riffs mixed with confusing, yet witty, vocals makes this two-piece stand out. Many people think TIGHT ASS JEANS worn by gay bastards when they hear the name of this band, but these two guys are not down with that. Nuthugger is a term referring to embracing a crazy, psychotic person. This name was perfect for the band because they embrace crazy ideas when in the song writing process. As a Nuthugger listener once said, "Is this going anywhere??!?!". Of course it isn't going anywhere. That is the whole point...

Nuthugger started out prime jime on sunday nights after work. This brought a varity of different instruments together including acoustic guitar, electric guitar, keyboard, saxophone, bass, drums. These jam sessions were far from impressive as everyone was going in a totally different direction and didn't fit together one bit. When all was said and done, many people understandably didn't show up anymore from the lack of taste of this style of music and also didn't want to be part of a band calling themselves "Nuthugger".

$99 later...Will Amaral(electric guitar), Bligh MacDonald(vocals), and Greg Mullen(electric guitar) began recording some raw cut demos on a piece of crap analog 4-track recorder. They made three songs that made the final cut: "My Two Favorite Things" , "Happy" , and "Cyborg vs. Goat". By the end of summer 2002 Will Amaral had vanished without a trace. He quit is subpar job at the Home Depot, got rid of his cellphone number, and would never return as the driving force of the band.

After some time off from music Bligh started interviewing people about their current state of mind. These yellow pieces of paper became the framework for some of the finest Nuthugger songs. Bligh and Greg ended up getting together to do some more recording in Bligh's "Dank" basement. Some prime songs came of these recording sessions, others we're immediately thrown out as they had no promise whatsoever (including "Girl Yeah Girl"). The new driving forces of Nuthugger soon became Bligh with his infectious acoustic/ukelele mastery, and Greg with his simple, yet smooth sounding rhythm riffs. The songs that they recorded over the next few months became known as Bonus Tracks and B-sides of A Different Kind of Ordinary as there were too many versions of each song, each with a different good thing about it. The tracks had to be hand picked through to find the best versions of each song. This "ultimate set" of songs became known collectively as A Different Kind of Ordinary thanks in part to Jeff Corriveau.

After a lengthy hiatus for the first five months of 2003, Nuthugger has come back strong adding new songs to the arsenal. Leaving the electric guitars behind, Nuthugger is now doubling up on acoustic guitars and is also adding a banjo to the mix. Now more than ever, the creativity and bizarreness of these guys songs is at its best.
