New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Nervus is a watford based indie-punk rock band that sound like the wonderful amalgamation of Alkaline Trio and Into It. Over It.. Nervus started as a bedroom project and saw guitarist/vocalist Em create and write music to help cope overcoming addictions in various different forms as well as working through their own gender identity. First track on the record�s called Oh Joy, it�s probably the loveliest song on the album but damn it's an uncomfortable listen at times in the best possible way. Em shot the video for it down in Brighton a while back and has these nice words to say about the song:
"It's about my relationship with alcohol and addiction, and how you just end up replacing addictions with other ones until you get to the real root cause of the problem. I was listening to a lot of Alanis Morissette at the time, and tried to channel some 'You Oughtta Know' with this because there is nothing more hairbrush-microphone righteous than a scathing break-up tune."
Em uses they/them pro-nouns whilst Jack/Karl/Paul all use he/him pronouns, please be respectful of this and message us if you wanna know more/understand better.
