GREATEST HITS VOLUME 1
Rate: 8 Stars
In 2012, this record came out and it seems to be the group's only record. Cocky title and if you look at the pictures in the album, it feels more like it's a funpunkband. With a pretty tough sound, Nerks begins the record with a song called Violence. I think back to oi records and to punk from the 80s. Thinking a little bit about the Anti-Nowhere League and I think a little bit that's the singer's merit. The record continues in the same way and after hearing the record, I guess I take away that they would be a fun band – at least not musically because it's hard and really good British punk that's the thing for the group. So this thing about Greatest Hits might not be a completely wrong title on this record because it's ten small hits when it comes to punk like this. If you like street punk / UK82 punk and good old-fashioned punk, I think Nerks might be something to check out for you too! Thanks for this album Deadlamb Records... one of my new favourite bands.. Clearly! 7/12-2022

"The first CD by these English punks(- and skins - ). Mohawk punk inspired by the likes of GBH and Drongos for Europe. Their lyrics deal with important issues as violence, farting and shop-lifting. Indeed, they are punk all the way(-you can call it Oi! too-)! According to the booklet this CD is recorded at someone's home, but you wouldn't guess so when hearing this. Good sound, good vocals, nice songs, decent stuff."
