Native Nod was an early US-American emo hardcore band, formed in the early 90's. They were based in the New York/New Jersey area. Their music is a mix of dynamic slowed-down melodic parts, sometimes with spoken word vocals and fast energetic parts with half-screaming vocals. Their lyrics are well-worded, sometimes cryptic and hard to decipher. With their innovative style they heavily influenced the hardcore scene long before the term became a commercial success.

In their short lifetime as a band they only released 9 songs, divided amongst the 3 seven inch EPs Bread, Answers, and Lower GI Bleed. These 9 songs can be found on the Gern Blandsten Records compilation Today Puberty, Tomorrow The World.

Chris Leo moved on to form "The Van Pelt" and later The Lapse, today performing as "Vague Angels". Dave Lerner joined Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. Danny Leo formed "tHE hOLY cHILDHOOD".
