Posthumous Nerve Agents DVD, EP in the works

Contributed by hubitcherkokov. Posted by adam on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 at 12:25 PM (EDT)

Not much info is available at this time, but Mankind Records has indicated that two releases featuring the defunct Bay Area band the Nerve Agents are on the horizon. Release dates and details have not yet been announced, but there is both a live DVD in the works as well as a 7" / CD EP. The latter will feature live, out of print and rare tracks. The Nerve Agents broke up in 2002, a year after the release of The Butterfly Collection on Hellcat.

Former Nerve Agents frontman Eric Ozenne and guitarist Dante Sigona recently surfaced in a new band dubbed the Strange Young Heroes.

i wish they had done more with the original line up. the first album/ep was incredible. the rest was pretty damn good, better than most bands but the early stuff was so much better than the rest. kevin cross needs to work with eric again, i think that was the key

That "Unsound" add might be the worst add I've ever seen on this site. Fuck Epitaph for destroying Punk-O-Rama and building some stupid bullshit in it's place.

Oh I love the hypocricy of pn.org:

A good band puts out a dvd - YES! About time!

A crap band puts out a dvd - What is it with all these DVDS lately. Its dumb.

Well, considering the Nerve Agents are no longer around, a DVD makes sense at this point.

colin (May 24, 2006)

yeah, adam's pretty on point with this. i don't really enjoy music dvds much at all, but i find them to be much more fitting after a band breaks up than in the middle of their run, no matter how good or bad.

Tony is that you?

TheOneTrueBill (May 24, 2006)

If a band is well loved and respected and they put out a DVD then people will be excited, ie Pulley, Nerve Agents, Bad Religion

If a band has one album that sells well and is trying to cash in on the stupid kids who bought said album for as much money as possible people are going to say "what's with all these shitty bands putting out DVDs" ie Simple Plan, Hawthorne Heights, Bleeding Through (who have what, three DVDs and two albums?)

Simple answer to stupid questions.

SkolarX (May 24, 2006)

bleeding through = 5 albums, 3 dvds but the point is well taken

that said i'd give my left nut for a gvoovie ghoulies dvd, or a screeching weasel one for that matter

TheOneTrueBill (May 24, 2006)

Wow, Bleeding Through has five albums? I didn't know they were around that long.

They aren't DVDs, but I can show you two YouTube links that will tide you over.

Screeching Weasel at the House of Blues - I can send you the file if you want, but here it is on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HSyphNA8Lw

And this girl uploaded a whole Ghoulies show from last November - http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=clairedactyl&page=2

SkolarX (May 24, 2006)

i think i love you

bleeding through had a couple of albums before they became slightly good (i like them for what they are, a metal band). they do have more dvds than most any band (save the ramones) deserves though. one should be more than enough per 10 years of being a band

Someone (May 24, 2006)

Good grief i miss these guys, i just had the butterfly collection on yesterday.... Lokking forward to this-oldpunker-

This is one of those bands that has gotten so much bigger posthumously than they ever where while they were together. Though there were probably less PunkNews posters in 2002 there were 13 comments under their break up notice and 4 under the review. Any mention of this band (or its members) instantly raises twice that ammount now.
Guess it could be worse, people could still like Guttermouth (i keed I keed).

awesome.

nerve agents were one of the best live bands i ever saw, so the dvd will be an extra treat.

corporatecriminal (May 24, 2006)

At first, I thought this was something about the band, Mankind? Does anyone know the band I'm talking about? Late 90's, political crust punk with male/female vocals.

oui_abracadaver (May 24, 2006)

Shit yeah.

ChokingVictim (May 24, 2006)

Man, I haven't listened to these guys in forever.

I think it's about time I pull out their EP. That was always my favorite.

The promise of the Hellcat DVD is finally getting fufilled. Now all we need is an F-Minus one.

The Hellcat DVD came out ages ago

TheOneTrueBill (May 24, 2006)

Yeah, and it was filled with an hour of Rancid footage while every other band got the shaft.

Someone (May 24, 2006)

too little too late

Someone (May 24, 2006)

Awesome, The Butterfly Collection is a true classic

while decent, its by far their weakest output, check out the self titled ep

etwiels88 (May 24, 2006)

Fucking love The Nerve Agents

TheYoungInfluential (May 24, 2006)

Hooray!

OzmanX (May 24, 2006)

WOW, I always kicked myself for missing one of their shows when they played in my area.

replaceablewren (May 24, 2006)

Best live band ever. Seeing them almost every weekend was the best 2 years of my life.

Mankind is a sick label. They are putting out that DVD, the Phantom Pains, The Scare and Generations. Those bands fucking rule.
