Noxious Nancy & the Heart Attack Boys

Noxious Nancy & The Heart Attack Boys is an American Religious Grunge Metal band formed in 1983. For most of their history, their line-up consisted of primary songwriter Nancy Conrad (lead vocals), Eli Keats (Drums), Mark Chaucer (bass guitar), Lindsey Graham (woodwind), and Rustin Peeks (Kazoo). Noxious Nancy & The Heart Attack Boys reached national acclaim immediately upon their debut, reaching the peak of their popularity in the mid 1990s.

Their 1984 debut album, A Cold Night In Hell, reached No. 7 in the US Albums Chart, featuring instant classics like The Darkness In My Heart and River Of Misery. The band's popularity gradually declined after this point, as they continually failed to live up to the initial success of A cold night in Hell, however, after an 11-year break, Noxious Nancy & The Heart Attack Boys came back strong in 2018 with The Birds and the Bees, a particularly edgy album featuring titles like Sharknado Of The Soul and Simping For Sinbad, with promises of a comparably massive hit in the upcoming 2021 album Drop It Like It's The Stock Market.

History
On September 7th 1982, Nancy Conrad, at the time living in Socks, California, attempted to take her own life by intentionally consuming a drink she had laced with a lethal dose of POWP, when her roommate of three months, Mark Chaucer, entered the room, she was, as he described it, already foaming at the mouth and in the midst of a seizure. In desperation, Chaucer called for an ambulance, but was informed that they could not reach him in time to save her, due to construction. Instead, Chaucer called their long time neighbor and friend, Eddie Wowell. Wowell, thinking quickly, doused Conrad in the Waves of Renewal, which led to her instant recovery, long after medicine would have pronounced her dead. Upon awakening, Chaucer asked Conrad whether she had seen "the light," to which she replied "I did. More than that though, I saw the vast oceans that emitted it. It was beautiful." Although Conrad would later say that she could remember nothing from that day, the two would both join Wowell's Aqualogist congregation from that moment onward, where they would fatefully meet Rustin Peeks, resolving together with two other friends to form a band to spread the word of Aqualogy to the masses. Conrad says she put every ounce of the near-death experience into her work, and fans widely agree that it shows.
