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
There are some people you can never tell what their true feelings are since they're so busy trying to impress people. They try generally to make themselves look good--even if its at your expense. However, when they are provoked, usually none of the threats they issue are likely to come true, either
Lyrics
Threats, lies, and Empty Gestures Copyright 2002 Chris Nelson (BMI) You always see them talking When there’s nothing left to say Makin’ up their stories Based on what they did today They think that they’re the greatest Thing to ever walk the earth A fantasy on which they base Everything since birth Threats, lies, and Empty Gestures Governments are crumbling What do you have to do? Policy is coming down Will your freedom come down too? Get your flag a-waving Head down to the street Fight for all that you believe in Forget about the heat Threats, lies, and Empty Gestures Sitting in a condemned building Waiting out the storm Evicted twice for god-knows-what It’s a shelter of some form President will help you out As if he’s free to pick And the county jail wants you, too Its all rhetoric Threats, lies, and Empty Gestures
