Agoraphobic Nosebleed

Agoraphobic Nosebleed (abbreviated as ANb) is a grindcore band formed in 1994 in Springfield, Massachusetts, United States.

  Through the use of drum machines, the band has been able to play songs with over 1000 BPM ^{beats per minute} . Lyrically, themes of substance abuse, terrorism, extreme violence, and nihilism are frequent, though many of their songs reveal ideologies similar to those held by the punk culture ^{Punk ideologies} .

The band is known for the conciseness of its songs: Their album Altered States of America features 100 songs (including one hidden) in just under 22 minutes, with many songs clocking in at 5 seconds or less, and the longest song clocking in at 1:45.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed played their first live set at the 2003 New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. As their appearance was unscheduled, Pig Destroyer cut their set short so they could play two songs and an intro.

In 2006, Hydra Head Records reissued Agoraphobic Nosebleed's 6" PCP Torpedo as a double disc set entitled PCP Torpedo/ANbRX. The first disc consisted of the 10-song, 6-minute original single. The second disc is over an hour's worth of remixes of songs from PCP Torpedo by breakcore and noise music artists such as Xanopticon, James Plotkin, Merzbow, and Justin Broadrick.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed have many releases forthcoming. They are working on a split 7" with The Endless Blockade for Relapse Records, a split 7" with Agents Of Satan (on Relapse, scheduled for 2010), a 7" with Lack Of Interest for Deep Six Records, a CD/LP with Despise You for Relapse Records, a split 12" with Thrones for Hydrahead and a Split 5" with ANS (label unknown). Randall is currently working on Drum Machine Gun 2 as well as doing a collaborative 7" with Wadge and a collaborative 12" with Black Mayonnaise.

In 2009, the band released the album Agorapocalypse on Relapse, available as a CD, LP, and longbox CD. The split 7" with Crom was released a month later on Regurgitated Semen Records.;Studio albums
