Liverpool’s The Nervous are impossible to ignore with their new 4 Songs EP (out now on Brainrotter Records), throwing four blunt objects right in your face. Really, this band has been described as Black Flag doing the Stooges with GG Allin as an extra member, and you can kind of imagine the result as a barroom brawl set to music, held together by blown-out amps, bad decisions, and pure chaotic energy.

Now imagine The Nervous injected with some Chuck Berry DNA, because there is definitely some rock and rolling going on underneath the noise. Obviously, no recording budget was available for this record, so you have to look hard for it. Actually, scratch that. It almost sounds like no recording equipment was used at all, which only makes this trashy little release feel even trashier in the best possible way. It adds to the fun, the danger, and the sense that anything could fall apart at any second.
