Nervous Eaters - Just Head 7"



Label: Penniman Records; Year: 1999; Format: Vinyl 7"

The Nervous Eaters from Boston, MA were one of the earliest punk'n'roll acts emerging from the 'Rat-scene' in Boston. Steve Cataldo on vocals/guitar was the main force behind this band, and originally this two-song gem was released in 1979 on Rat Records. None of the two songs are pure '77 punk, but rather a mixture of the punk-energy mixed with the raw sound of early '70s hard rock and glam rock, resulting in two hook-laden killer tracks that will blow your speakers. This is one of my favorite late '70s releases from the US, and everybody that equally loves the Real Kids or DMZ needs to have this in their collection.

Cheers Pete. Nah, I simply don't have the time to also put up the songs, and quite frankly I wouldn't have a clue how to do that ;-) My main intention is for people to go out there and seek out the releases for themselves after having read the reviews. That's how it was in the good ole' days too, right? ;-) There will definitely be a next time for your Punk Art. Keep on rockin'!
