“Nrvs have an innate punk swagger” Hard of Hearing
“…off-kilter post-punk bangers” Louder Than War
For decades & centuries, musicians have used their art to plant a flag in the ground & to stand vocally against the tide – Bob Dylan, Lead Belly, Marvin Gaye, even Beethoven’s call for equality ‘Ode To Joy’. As long as there is shit to rail against in the world – and let’s face it, that’s not going away any time soon – there’ll be people making visceral musical statements questioning the status quo.
Enter Nrvs into the conversation with their latest offering The Tanks Are Coming Out – a rallying cry to disrupt the status quo & shift power back to the people. While we’re all busy putting out fires in our everyday lives, governments & leaders around the world are accumulating tanks, bombs & so on. Do you think they’re just going to sit there forever? – sooner or later those tanks are gonna come out!
Nrvs expand on the idea saying “the rise of authoritarianism, censorship, community collapse & impending apocalypse are upon us. This is about Ukraine, Gaza & the rest of the shit-show… but also the metaphorical tanks pointed at civil rights in this country in the form of new laws & long sentences for peaceful protesters. This manifests on both macro & micro levels, with your actual tanks & apocalypse on a macro level, while it’s also about the war that can break out when two people’s hearts get broken on a micro level – the world is on edge at all levels!”
