If being a Brooklyn rock band has come to signify ego and decadence, disco beats and overnight commercial success, then Nakatomi Plaza must be living in the wrong zip code. For the past six years, the band has been developing their unique variant of indie-hardcore-punk, earning a loyal following in the underground scene on the strength of their passionate delivery, tremendous chops and relentless DIY work ethic. Following the release of their second full-length record Private Property in late 2002, Nakatomi Plaza suffered a line-up change, then split with their label. Determined to push on, the band re-grouped and with a handful of fresh songs, hit the road for a two-month trek across the US and Canada. Devoting the next year to complete the writing process, Nakatomi Plaza honed their songs before hometown crowds, while continuing to book their own tours of the East Coast and Midwest. With no label help, the band members emptied their hard-earned savings to record with J. Robbins (of Jawbox/Burning Airlines; producer/engineer of Jimmy Eat World, Against Me, The Dismemberment Plan, Engine Down, The Oranges Band, Shiner, Jets to Brazil, The Promise Ring, Braid). Calling it Unsettled, they pressed a first-run of the record themselves and set out on tour three times in 2005 to promote it.
