A Band That Brings Emotion and Edge to the Stage
Nerv is a four-piece band with an origin story as dynamic as their music. Vocalist Dillon Jones hails from Sacramento, while guitarists Scott Buchanan and Jordan Grokett come from Dallas, Texas, and drummer Tyler Clark from Atlanta, Georgia. Together, they create a blend of rock that transcends regional influences and highlights their diverse backgrounds. Their music combines heavy instrumentation with themes that are personal, relatable, and sometimes raw, drawing listeners in with both sound and substance.
Since their formation in 2017, Nerv has demonstrated an ability to create songs that resonate with a wide audience. Their journey began with the debut single “Enough,” which established them as a powerful new presence in rock. In 2018, Nerv released their debut EP, Bad Habits, working with renowned producer Erik Ron (who has worked with I Prevail, Godsmack, and Hollywood Undead). This early work helped them carve out a space in the rock world and laid the groundwork for their future success.
The band’s next major milestone came in 2022 with the release of their first full-length album, We’re All Patients Here. The album was met with enthusiasm from fans and critics alike, garnering over 20 million streams and marking a high point in Nerv’s career. With We’re All Patients Here, the band solidified their place in the rock world, offering fans a collection of tracks that highlighted their musical growth and unique style.
Looking Ahead: New EP on the Horizon
Now, Nerv is preparing to release their next EP, scheduled for 2025. This upcoming project is being produced by Matt Good, known for his work with bands like Asking Alexandria and Escape the Fate. The collaboration with Good is highly anticipated, as fans look forward to hearing how Nerv’s sound continues to evolve.
For a band that has only been on the scene for a few years, Nerv has already made a considerable impact. Their journey from local shows to national tours and major festivals speaks to their talent and dedication to their craft. With the release of “WASTED!”, Nerv shows no signs of slowing down, and fans can expect more powerful music and memorable performances in the years to come.
Whether you’re new to their music or have been following them since the beginning, Nerv’s mix of powerful guitar work, gritty vocals, and energetic live shows makes them a band worth watching.
