MySpace a place for friends

The Nerds are a four-piece band comin' outta Italy and formed in 1997. They deliver an evil kind of rock'n'roll mayhem in the vein of ANTiSEEN, GG Allin, Dwarves, Bulemics and pervert rock bands alike they released a split with the Italian band Orange Juice From the Crypt and two singles on their own before signing for Stardumb Records in Holland and releasing their first full length "Just because she didn't wanna fuck" in December 2000. This record has liner notes provided by Jeff Clayton and Gerry Atric, respectively singers for the great bands ANTiSEEN and The Bulemics, and started a new friendship and collaboration between the Italian band and the Confederacy of Scum ones. The Nerds reached an higher level with the intensity and fast-as-fuck power of their first album who gained 'em ranting reviews all over the world bringing the band to his first tour of Holland and Belgium they played with greats such as The Spades (who covered their song "Beat Me" on their first album out on Suburban) and El Guapo Stunteam delivering tight, fast rockin' sets that left people impressed and stages electrified. Shortly after, Scarey Records outta Italy released a split with the Frankenstein Drag Queens, Confederacy of Scum band led by actual singer of Murderdolls Wednesday 13. After another blitzkrieg in Holland in march 2002 where The Nerds also opened for their all-time-heroes ANTiSEEN and also had Jeff Clayton on stage performing a sonic rendition of their hit "Animals eat'em", the Italians delivered another great record, the 10" split with the Tunnel Rats, another CoS band, always on Scarey Records, actually the band's home label. Great reviews came in and other great shows were played all over Northern Italy spreading mayhem and havoc and always leaving the audiences in wild satisfaction. The band released another split 7" with Texas' Hammercocks on Zurich Chainsaw Massacre label in april 2003 with a small tour of Germany and Switzerland to follow. Their second full length "A Black Star burning trails to Nowhere" has been released in april 04 by Scarey Records. Another Euro tour shortly after followed, teaming up with Chicago's TORG, succesfully playing all over Mainland Europe. In the same year, a collection CD spanning the first 6 years of singles, unreleased tracks and live version was released by Laja Records out of Brazil. Year 2005 saw THE NERDS touring extensively nationally and internationally, hitting the USA and the UK for the first time, and touring Central Europe again for the sixth time, joining forces with Scarey Records labelmates BIBLE OF THE DEVIL from Chicago. The band embarks on a Finnish blitz with friends SCARECROW at the end of the year. A split CD with Australias RUPTURE will see the light of day pretty soon, with vocal contributions from Jeff Clayton of ANTiSEEN. THE NERDS just came back from their first Spanish attack, and are ready to take the USA by storm for the second time, before releasing their much anticipated third full lenght album on Italy's very own CHORUS OF ONE Records
