Revelation Records Announce The Nerve Agents Vinyl Reissues

Revelation Records have announced three vinyl reissues from frenzied hardcore-punk band The Nerve Agents. Deluxe editions of 1998’s The Nerve Agents EP, 2000’s Days Of The White Owl and 2001’s The Butterfly Collection are accompanied by booklet inserts featuring never before seen photos, flyers, and more. All three albums, as well as correlating shirts, are available for preorder now through Revelation Records.

The Nerve Agents were born from the late ’90s Bay Area Hardcore scene with vocalist Eric Ozenne (Unit Pride / Redemption 87) joined with Tim Presley (Model American) and Andy Granelli (Model American). What resulted was a throwback sound to an era of hardcore punk not unlike early-Youth of Today, Circle Jerks and 7 Seconds that still managed to showcase the members’ personalities and experiences, with art and lyrics reflecting on Ozenne’s time in the military with vivid references to the horrors of chemical weapons. The Nerve Agents became known for their chaotic and theatrical live performances, uniting hardcore kids, punk rockers and goths in venues from coast to coast.
