Loud, hard, heavy alternative rock with a side order of melody. Pulse-pounding rhythms, high-energy performance, and thought-provoking lyrics. Their energ
FISHKILL is a three-piece band that plays hard rock with an alternative style, featuring energetic songs that are fun to listen to and may make you think if you listen carefully. It's heavy guitar-based rock, although it has been classified as punk and 80's new wave rock. Singer/Songwriter Chris Nelson's vocal style has been compared to Joey Ramone (The Ramones), Mike Love (The Beach Boys), and Ray Davies (The Kinks). Bassist Jack Hawk and Drummer Mike Williams each add to the unique blend of styles, turning it into music that's built to last. The dynamic force they create while playng carries the audience into the excitement of the performance. In actuality Fishkill strives to define its own category within the musical framework of rock. The basic goal is to give the listener a good time, like a band playing at this great party or concert you were at that you'll never forget. It's all about fun, pure and simple and everything else is window dressing. Fishkill is a featured artist on WSVN's Hall Of Fame Volume 9, A WSVN Radio Christmas CD, and is now available on the Rhapsody/Real Jukebox and BuyMusic.com online digital music services.

Story behind the song
I had a friend who was a member of the Huns motorcycle club out in Alamagordo, New Mexico. He always wanted to become a biker, and he saved up his pennies to buy a Harley-Davidson Sportster and proceeded to join the club. I got a chance to peer into the culture and lifestyle of real bikers--not those lawyers and accountants that just dress up and pretend on the weekend--this was the real deal. I feel I have a better understanding of who they are now. This song is a celebration of that lifestyle. In my opinion, these are today's true American pioneers.
Lyrics
FREEDOM Copyright 2002 Chris Nelson (BMI) Endless highway that goes into the unknown wheels are turning, out here I stand on my own Where I'll be tomorrow, I couldn't tell you today There's so much to see, so I guess I'll be on my way {Too many people getting in my way Too many things here make me wanna stay No on can keep me, I'm in love with my freedom Take all my money, but don't you mess with my freedom} Today it's El Paso, tomorrow we'll see where the wind blows I could be in Vegas, I may try to make San Fransisco I don't really care, as long as we're riding together we're not controlled by anything but the weather {} We're proud to be bikers, America's free spirit When they put us down, we ride, 'cause we don't want to hear it All of my life, I'll travel and live off the land It's a feeling of freedom, I know you won't understand
