Out with their latest and greatest, Nerf Herder IV, the nerfs are back at it with more of their wacky SoCal party punk. They have been described as nerd rock, garage punk and one of the signs of the apocalypse (by none other than Buffy the Vampire Slayer), you gotta love Nerf Herder. Their name is taken from an insult Princess Leia laid on Han Solo in Star Wars. I caught on to these guys a little late, with their American Cheese cd, and by the airplay they got on the defunct XM radio station Fungus. All of their albums are full of fun tongue-in-cheek punk pop that will infect your brain like a bad computer virus. For those older punk fans in the world, you can hear them channel the Descendents and other fun-loving punk bands of yore in their sounds... My favorite track of the band is called Welcome to My World, which goes into great detail about the author's post-breakup life, which sounds quite bleak... The best part is how he starts raving about how much he hates the show Cheers, including that "...Dumbass mailman..."
So anyway, if you like your punk fun, lively and full of hilarity, you can do no wrong with Nerf Herder, SoCal punk's answer to (I forgot the question...).
