Bio
1,2,3 consists of long time friends Nic Snyder (vox, guitar & keys) and Josh Sickels (drums). Snyder grew up inspired by a steady diet of Mercury-era Rod Stewart, Neil Young, Bacharach and his all-time favourite, Roy Orbison, but he was lured into writing his own music by his father. A collector of punk 7"s back in the seventies, his dad was also a piano player in Pittsburgh’s monolithic Iron City Houserockers, probably the biggest band to come out of the Three Rivers area in the 1970/80?s. Surrounded by photos of his dad on stage with Springsteen and B.B. King, Snyder was inevitably influenced by Blues and Motown as well. Read More...

2011 was a busy and successful year for Pittsburgh duo 1,2,3. In June the band released their debut LP, New Heaven, which has now been featured on a number of year end lists. As a follow up to this record, they released the ‘Scared, but not that scared’ single, which featured two brand new tracks.
They began the year with the release of a free EP entitled ‘Dreamland Pt. 1 (For Daisy)’ and a string of tour dates, including a sold out Chicago show with Grouplove.
The band is now looking forward to touring the US throughout the spring and beginning to work on their sophomore release.
