The Nerv

THE NERV. A new generation of Punk is rising, infused with what originally made Punk Rock great –raw power, combined with a socially conscious worldview. Fronted by powerful female vocals, THE NERV packs a punch with their heavy, driving beats and brutal, in-your-face instrumentation combined with provocative lyrical content. THE NERV began in 2007 with original members CHRIST CAMPBELL on guitar and vocalist NIS ANTHROPE, later joined by bassist IAN LARKIN and PAUL HOPKINS (Skinlab) on Drums. THE NERV released their first LP, "THE NOW CRISIS" in 2009, followed up with “DECIVILIZED” in 2011 and "TRUST IN FIRE" featuring ANDY V. GALLEON (Death Angel) on drums. The band has hit its stride professionally, supporting well-known acts such as D.R.I., D.O.A., AGENT ORANGE, THE DICKIES, PHILM, THE FREEZE, BATALLION OF SAINTS and THE TUBES “We believe in the power of music and art to create social change on a systemic level. THE NERV stands for emancipation, empowerment and compassion for all forms of life and overthrowing systems that perpetuate oppression.” ~ Nis Anthrope “Hard work, hard music, good friends and good times.” ~ Christ Campbell “Nothing spells surprise like plucking out both of your eyes.” ~ Ian Larkin “Eat ice cream at night.” ~ Paul Hopkins Click http://thenerv.net for The Nerv Official Website http://dielaughingrecords.com
