From 1999-June 2004, I filmed for over 300 nu metal, hard rock, & pop punk bands.   

My IMDB Page: - IMDB - Brad Nolan

When Covid-19 hit, over 1000 of my shows were released on the Liberated Tape Archive YouTube channel with massive amounts of support.  The reason for this was that a lot of these bands from this era sadly did not have any digital footprint of any live shows.  Some didn't even have (and still don't have) their music on any streaming services!    This era and scene of nu metal is very important to me and I've archived 1000's of shows so it will forever live on.   

After a 19 year hiatus, i've decided to return to filming shows again as of October 2023.  So many bands I filmed for returned to the music world this past year, which reignited my passion and fire to film again. 

The main purpose of me filming is to help bands archive and create new content, not to build a YouTube channel or anything that benefits anyone other than the artists themselves.  Expect some clips here and there to appear on my channel, but most content will be locked away for artist use only and for their social content.
