Massive Nightmares are a Boston indie-punk band featuring Alex Heinz (lead guitar/vocals), Pat Lavalle (rhythm guitar/vocals), Tom Ciesluk (bass/backing vocals) and Myke Doyle (drums), with members whose other bands include No Trigger, Great Lakes USA, Save Ends and Little Low. Formed in 2023, the quartet built their sound around big riffs, hooks and stacked harmonies, pulling melodic 2000s punk into the orbit of '80s and '90s alternative rock and power pop.They released a self-titled EP in 2024 and their debut full-length album, Ain't My World, in 2026 via Black Numbers. Fans of The Bronx, The Lemonheads, The Menzingers, I Am the Avalanche, and The Hold Steady will appreciate their beer-soaked, sing-along melodic punk sound.
