HOT NERDS: Hear their Wild New Track “Belated Brains”

by | Jan 14, 2016

It doesn’t get much hotter than Hot Nerds. Wacky, noisy, spastic — pretty much everything we’re all about. The San Diego band are gearing up to release their new five-track EP dubbed Generic Plans for a New Blunder

So if you don’t know much about the band, here’s how the story goes: In the fall of 2010 Alia Jyawook (Bitter Sober, Vaginals) and Nathan Joyner (All Leather) met and started playing music together. They fell in love, got married, and BAM — Nathan got run over by a car and was pronounced dead at the scene, one day away from their two-year anniversary. Police reports say that Nathan let out a gasp while being transported to the hospital, and somehow he managed to pull through. And since he couldn’t play drums anymore, he switched to guitar, they recruited Thomas F. O’connell (Idols Plague) to handle drum duties, and Hot Nerds became a thing.

With that said, here’s the opening song off their new EP. It’s called “Belated Brains.”

Generic Plans for a New Blunder comes out on February 12th through Three One G.

Korn Interview on Ryan’s Rock Show: Drummer Ray Luzier Remembers Who He Is

Back in the prehistoric days when neanderthals like Geocities and MP3.com walked the net, Korn was the baddest band in the world. When I was in the 7th grade, I would go to my Catholic grade school non-uniform days strictly in Korn attire, and would scream...
