With a cover that looks like it was made to piss off your parents and a font that reminds me of old Carcass records, Nearly Dead are really going for the shock value factor. The songs are mostly lo-fi and trashy sounding, with a flattened out, live, garage sound. It’s similar to the sound you get when you try and jam after drinking a twelve pack of beer. If you like the Mentors, you might like these guys. –Ryan Nichols (Learning Curve)
