Brandon Reilly was originally a member of the now defunct band The Rookie Lot, alongside current members of Brand New; Jesse Lacey, Garrett Tierney and Brian Lane. After the band parted ways, he became the guitarist of The Movielife and then eventually formed Nightmare of You.

The band originally self-released their debut album on their own label, The Bevonshire Label. They licensed it to East West Records in the US and Full Time Hobby in the UK. Three singles, with accompanying music videos, were released from the self-titled album. The singles included "My Name is Trouble", "The Days Go by Oh So Slow" and "I Want to Be Buried in Your Backyard". All three videos were featured on the Fuse TV shows Steven's Untitled Rock Show and Oven Fresh. Another song from the album, "Dear Scene, I Wish I Were Deaf", was also featured in the EA Sports video game, FIFA 07.

In the Spring of 2007 The Bevonshire Label split with East West Records. Nightmare of You then self-released a five-song EP, entitled Bang!, on September 11, 2007. They toured in support of the EP with a headlining tour of the US in May and June 2008. They were supported by the Graduate, Paper Rival, and Edison Glass.[2]

In 2008, the band recruited drummer Michael Fleischmann (formerly of Permanent ME), and began writing for their next studio album. Longtime friend and Brooklyn-based musician Brandon Meyer joined the band on bass in December 2008, replacing original bassist Ryan Heil, playing his first show with the group on December 29, 2008 at the Crazy Donkey in Long Island, NY. The band then entered the studio in January 2009 to begin recording their sophomore full-length record.

The new album, Infomaniac, was recorded at the Magic Shop recording studio in the SOHO section of New York City in January 2009, co-produced by the band and Brian Thorn. The record was reportedly recorded and tracked in just a couple of weeks, with 16-hour sessions. Various video updates were posted on the band's MySpace page throughout the sessions, keeping fans in the loop. The new album was finished shortly thereafter, entitled Infomaniac and was released through The Bevonshire Label on August 4, 2009. On May 18, 2009 Spin magazine released a download on their website of a new song entitled "I Think I'm Getting Older", which is the lead track off of Infomaniac.
