Theyâre rare, those moments in which youâre sent head over heels by an unknown band on a cold winterâs night in a backroom of an obscure cafĂ©. It was Eurosonic 2015, in Groningen, and the band was called Die Nerven. The German trio tensely and scathingly shot their nihilism-laced post-punk through the dilapidated speakers and unhesitatingly spat the sinister German lyrics straight in your face.
Their recent release âOutâ (Glitterhouse Records â Oct â15), hailed by weekly Der Spiegel as âone of the best and most relevant German-speaking albums of this decadeâ, is fizzing with as much energy, attitude and oppressive songs as forerunner âFunâ. In short, urgent post-punk/noise-rock from Stuttgart that really gets under your skin live.
