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 came to the realization some time ago that I don't really have any control over my life. Someone else's decision will always affect me in some way or influence the descisions I make. This song--to me, anyway--is a modern-day "My Generation"
Lyrics
My Direction Copyright 2003 Chris Nelson (BMI) Moving forward with some uncertainty The path I’m on is never my own The road’s getting narrow and there’s no exit ramp I think I’d rather be left alone It’s plain to see I’m not a priority Part of a plan But never just a man Let me go my direction I don’t need your protection Let me go my direction I don’t need your deception Stumbling onward not knowing where I am Following along with the rest of the crowd Never permitted to break from the pack and leave I can’t ever be heard talking too loud It’s plain to see I’m not a priority Part of a plan But never just a man Let me go my direction I don’t need your protection Let me go my direction I don’t need your deception Keep in time and keep your place in line It’s better when you think they know what’s best They don’t value individuality Follow their leaders, just like the rest It’s plain to see I’m not a priority Part of a plan But never just a man Let me go my direction I don’t need your protection Let me go my direction I don’t need your deception
