THE NERVES
The Nerves
Original Private US 7" EP released on Nerves Records in 1976. Comes in a picture sleeve.
KILLER Powerpop EP (first track later covered by Blondie!). Features Peter Case (Plimsouls) and Paul Collins (Beat).
Paul Collins was a key member of two bands that anticipated the power-pop explosion of the late '70s and early '80s : the Nerves and The Paul Collins' Beat. After graduating from high school, Paul Collins studied composition at the Julliard School then in the early '70s he moved to San Francisco, California to pursue his musical vision of short, punchy rock songs with copious hooks.
In 1974, Paul Collins met like-minded songwriters Peter Case (bass) and Jack Lee (guitar), and they formed the Nerves. Playing fast, ear-catching pop songs while wearing matching pink suits, the Nerves had more than a bit of the street energy that would later manifest in Los Angeles's early punk movement. The Nerves booked their own shows and did a nationwide tour of small venues on their own dime.
In 1976 The Nerves put out a four-song 7" EP on their own label. While Blondie would have an early hit with a Nerves cover, "Hanging on the Telephone" (penned by Jack Lee), the band broke up in 1978, and not long afterward Paul Collins set out to form a new band (Paul Collins' Beat).
