Introducing: new NJ hardcore act NERVOUS WRECK!

2 mins read

After a couple of years of delivering shredding metallized hardcore jams with PLAYER HATER and blended beats of punk and rap with their project SUNNY GANG, New Jersey natives Bacchus, Mark, Coco and Juan have teamed up for a new band dubbed NERVOUS WRECK. The bleak tone of their debut EP presents itself as harsh, thrashy and hard-hitting offering that’s obviously not trying to branch out to new sonic territories, but create some new ground for potential new interesting act on the local scene. Today, we’re giving you the first listen of the EP, available below, along with the lyrics.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Sean Kenny at New Future Studio in Belmar, NJ.

Division

TWO SIDES TO CHOOSE. EITHER WAY YOU LOSE.
PROPAGANDIST NEWS CONTROLLING ALL OUR VIEWS.
POWER OF THE FEW. DRAW THE LINES THAT SKEW.
FAR FROM WHAT IS TRUE. LEFT WITHOUT A CLUE.

DIVIDE US ALL. WATCH US FALL.
NEVER GET NOWHERE BECAUSE WE CANNOT STAND TALL
DIVIDE US ALL. WATCH US FALL
IF IT WAS UP TO YOU, WOULD YOU ANSWER THE CALL?

ALWAYS IN THE LEAD. BUILT ON CORPORATE GREED.
POLITICAL CREED, ISN’T WHAT WE NEED.
WE MUST BREAK THE TIES, THAT YIELD OUR DIVIDE.
REVEAL THEIR DISGUISE OR FREEDOM DIES.

DIVIDE US ALL. WATCH US FALL.
NEVER GET NOWHERE BECAUSE WE CANNOT STAND TALL
DIVIDE US ALL. WATCH US FALL
IF IT WAS UP TO YOU, WOULD YOU ANSWER THE CALL?

RISE OR FALL. KILL THEM ALL.

Nervous Wreck

I CANNOT FIND THE TRUTH THAT’S SUPPOSED TO SET ME FREE
I’VE BEEN WAITING ON IT PATIENTLY
I THOUGHT BY NOW THAT I’D HAVE A CLUE
BUT I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK TO DO
EVERYDAY FEELS LIKE THE END
THERE’S NO MORE ROOM FOR ME TO BEND
NOT A SINGLE THING FOR ME TO GAIN
SO HOW MUCH LONGER CAN I BARE THE PAIN

THERE’S NO MEANING IN THIS LIFE I’M JUST FUCKING STUCK
I TRIED TO MAKE MY WAY BUT I’M COMPLETELY FUCKED

NERVOUS WRECK

Conformist

MISGUIDED EGO, NO FUCKING SOUL.
TRYING TO HARD TO FIT THE MOLD.
NO OPINIONS, NO FREE THOUGHT.
SCARED TO DISAGREE, IT’S ACCEPTANCE YOU WANT.
CLIMBING THE LADDER AT WHATEVER COST.
DON’T REALIZE ALL THE BONDS YOU’VE LOST.
USE YOUR LOGIC, THEY DON’T LIKE YOU.
STUPID MOTHER FUCKER, WHO ARE YOU?

IF YOU DON’T THINK FOR YOURSELF WHO’S GONNA DO IT?
IF YOU DON’T SPEAK FOR YOURSELF WHO’S GONNA DO IT?

NO CONNECTIONS, NO REAL LOVE.
FAKING THE FUNK, THESE AREN’T REAL FRIENDS.
GIVE IT TIME, THEY’LL SLANDER YOUR NAME.
DROP YOU IN A SECOND, STAY IN YOUR LANE.

TRIAL BY FIRE, THE WITCH’S HUNT.
NO NEED FOR EVIDENCE, IT WAS JUST A FRONT.
NOW YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN
NOBODY’S GOT YOUR BACK
YOU SHOULD’VE REALIZED, THAT’S A FUCKING FACT.

IF YOU DON’T THINK FOR YOURSELF WHO’S GONNA DO IT?
IF YOU DON’T SPEAK FOR YOURSELF WHO’S GONNA DO IT?

Quotidian

ENDLESS CYCLE. SAME OLD GAME.
CAN’T FIND HOPE. I’M THE ONE TO BLAME.
NOTHING FILLS THE VOID. EVERYDAY’S THE SAME.
I NEED A WAY OUT BEFORE I GO INSANE.

RUNNING AWAY, LOSING MY FAITH.
RUNNING AWAY, CANNOT RELATE.

ALWAYS ON EDGE, BOUT TO FUCKING SNAP.
ALL I CAN SAY, IS LIFE’S A FUCKING TRAP.
NO WILL TO LIVE, ZERO WORTH.
I’LL FIND PEACE WHEN MY CASKET HITS THE DIRT.

RUNNING AWAY, LOSING MY FAITH.
RUNNING AWAY, CANNOT RELATE.
