Yes I confess I bought this a) the cover looked soo cool b) The Nervous Return sounded quite cool name and the songs have cool names C) theres the tenuous Blink 182 link d) I can sniff out good albums and I am 90 percent effective. OK this is post punk, stoneresque rock if you like punk pop then this record might just be too difficult for you, but those who like the idea of fugazi/Pennywise mixed with queens of the stone age with a melodic edge and a sense of urgency then you will like this, the songs fade in and breakdown with amazing guitar work. Oh yeah the vocalist has a hint of 80s about him that is most prominent on So and So from such and such. I can reccommend this to anyone who is sick and bored of generic bands that don't inspire, the first listen may not hook you but be persistent . not for everyone.

The Nervous Return, Wake Up Dead

One day you are just cruising along thinking everything is OK and then you wake up dead. That's the idea behind the latest album from L.A. pop rock band, The Nervous Return. Wake Up Dead creates a sense of urgency in their first album with intense driving music that lyrically targets the apathetic. It's like a combo of Queens of The Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Descendants, and Offspring. Perfect album to listen to if you are pissed off. Web link: thenervousreturn.com.
