Let's see, some bile, a metal riff, a swear word that I've never used before, my first falsetto ever in a song and a phase shifter solo

The Last Nerves are a dork rock band from Durham, NC. What is dork rock, you might wonder? Listen and find out. It's basically weird pop rock with swear words. We are all thirty-something dorks who are figuring out how to age gracefully while rocking out. Our goal is to not be making beer commercial music. We have thus far succeeded.
Reese and Josh are singer-songwriter-guitarists who argue endlelssly about whose guitar is louder. Josh sings about random things and ways to fuck over the man. Reese has a sweet voice and she sings about matters of the heart and statutory rape. She (Reese) plays mean, crunchy rhythm guitar and Josh is treble-master and king of catchy hooks. Simeon and Hannah hold it together in the background in a state of co-dependence. Simeon is an over-caffeinated, minimalist ZenMaster on drums. Hannah is an insecure bass player who, like Simeon, thinks that less is more.
The Last Nerves aren't about genre or acting cool. The Last Nerves are a pop band of angry old farts who will kick your ass.Band/artist history
Josh & Reese met when they answered an ad for an indy rock "collective." The people there didn't believe in structure, especially the angry drugged out dude who, when asked what he played said "not a mother-fucking THING man..." Reese and Josh eloped from the collective and asked Josh's lawfully-wedded-wife, Hannah, to play bass. We put an ad in the local weekly paper for an aging drummer, and got this phone message from Simeon saying "I'm oooold, I'm so oooold...."Have you performed in front of an audience?We play live around Durham and Chapel Hill, NC and yes we like it.

Nice. Treble triumphs over bass and the true meaning of amateur is 'for love'.
Nice!
Like your sound.
Rep the 919!
Hey Infallible - 3 of us used to live in NYC. It's hard for us to get out of town, but it's a pipe dream to play New York.
Larry - I'm glad you noticed out drummer, Simeon. He doesn't play loud or fancy, but he really keeps a great beat. - Josh
Beautiful music, you guys. Can hear you don´t give a damn. At the same time that's exacly what you do. Great great drumming (for the song)
