Last Wednesday night one of Minneapolis’ newest punk bands, Loud Nerves, debuted a 10-song set in Stevens Square’s Cinema and Civics night. The 1990 classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was shown. It’s the Square’s third such event and they’re holding one more next Wednesday the 25th. Stevens Square Community Organization, one of the oldest running community organizations in the country, are holding concerts followed by a movie in Stevens Square on each Wednesday of the month of June.
The 3-man-band certainly struck an amazing nerve with me as they screamed from one song to another. Although they brought a youthful punk noise that was perfectly distorted, they showed maturity with a slow riff in Sinker.
After the show I was surprised to find out that this was their first gig together. Jeremy, their drummer, kept Zabby (bass and vocals) and Matt (vocals and guitar) perfectly timed through every song. Often times you’ll find new bands either quicken or retard the beat by song’s end. Not Loud Nerves. This is a trio of seasoned musicians that are achieving their goals of putting out a “repetitive, straight forward, intentional, and jarring” sound: Everything you want in a punk band. You know that their experience goes further back than the 16 months that they’ve been practicing with each other.
I highly recommend catching Loud Nerves at either Nomad World Pub on Friday, July 18th or Cause on Thursday July 31st. You can check out their website at loudnerves.com or you can like them on their Facebook page.
