Nick Piunti

Solo...ish Reviews!

The "Solo...ish" reviews are coming in - thank you!

"Solo...ish hits a perfect sweet spot between a full band rock record and a one-man singer/songwriter experience. Me telling you that Piunti has managed to outdo himself after all these records would be a little bit like saying the the best pizzeria in New Jersey has just now made its best pizza. What was left to improve upon? But somehow Piunti and Reed (who does a masterful job of producing) have found the secret sauce with this release. The thing is truly flawless, and it leaves me crossing my fingers that we'll have many more years of Nick Piunti making records just like this one."

Some very positive reviews of the new album- check them out!

"Nick Piunti is a maestro when it comes to crafting catchy, hook-laden songs that embrace the aura of classic power pop, while also providing a fresh take on the genre. He and his band, The Complicated Men, delighted and impressed fans with their last two remarkable full-length releases... this fabulous record will definitely have you smiling from ear to ear."

A great early review of "Heart Inside Your Head" from Powerpop News! Thank you Richard Rossi!

"Nick Piunti has become a favorite of ours over the last few years. In fact, 2020’s Downtime was the site’s #1 power pop album of the year. His latest, Heart Inside Your Head, has many of the same characteristics; whopping hooks, big choruses and even bigger guitars...."

"Heart Inside Your Head sound like a proper band album... Heart Inside Your Head is a revelation and the reason why I love and drift back to Pop Rock. Highly Recommended."

Fantastic review from Power Pop News!

"2018’s Temporary High was one of the best pop albums of that year. With Downtime, the prolific Nick Piunti is back with a new band and the kind of big hooks, bigger choruses and jangly guitars we’ve come to expect from one of today’s top purveyors of pop."
