1,2,3 return to Ooh La La, to release their latest self described disaster ballad “Bigger Black Car”. In a celebration of the label and band’s anniversary of the debut release ”Confetti” from 2010, Nic Snyder delivers a song that he says “is about a common inner conflict, the necessity and enjoyment of an automobile and the knowledge that you are contributing to a multitude of ecological problems by driving one.”
Our boys in 1,2,3 have just released a creepy but fun video for the song “Scared But Not That Scared.” Check it out and see what you’ve been missing all this time that you haven’t been in a cult. The song appears on the album New Heaven, out now on Frenchkiss Records. Don’t forget to pick up your copy of the Confetti 7″ right here in our webstore.
And don’t forget that 1,2,3 are playing the Bunbury Festival in Cincinnati, OH on Saturday, July 14 with Weezer, Grouplove, Manchester Orchestra, RJD2 and many more!

We’re excited to announce 1,2,3 have signed to respected indie label, Frenchkiss Records for the release of their debut full length. The band’s yet to be titled debut will likely be coming out summer 2011. The label is also home to The Dodos, Les Savy Fav, The Antlers, and The Hold Steady.
The band’s signing to Frenchkiss comes almost exactly one year after 1,2,3 entered the studio w/ producer Theo Aronson to record their debut single “Confetti” (and a few other tunes).
Be sure to pick up the limited edition 7 inch of “Confetti” that Theo produced/mixed, which also features the b-side “Can’t Bribe God”. Click on image below to order now:
1,2,3 consists of long time friends Nic Snyder (vox, guitar & keys) and Josh Sickels (drums). Originally started as a side project from the power punk outfit The Takeover UK, Snyder found himself increasingly drawn to 1, 2, 3 and the freedom it gave him to express his own musical ambitions. Snyder grew up inspired by a steady diet of Mercury-era Rod Stewart, Neil Young, Bacharach and his all-time favorite, Roy Orbison, but he was lured into writing his own music by his father. A collector of punk 7’s back in the seventies, his dad was also a piano player in Pittsburgh’s monolithic Iron City Houserockers, probably the biggest band to come out of the Three Rivers area in the 1970/80?s. Surrounded by photos of his dad on stage with Springsteen and B.B. King, Snyder was inevitably influenced by Blues and Motown as well.
Band:
Nic Snyder – vocals, guitar & keys
Josh Sickels – drums
