Nerdmore - All My Dopes And Screams - Download (2013)

Labels: self released
Review by: MH

This is six pop punk songs from one bloke in Northern Ireland who played all the instruments, sang all the songs and recorded it all in his bedroom. Nerdmore wears its heart on its sleeve with the Descendents-style logo on some of the other releases on the Bandcamp page and that riff in the opener “Bitten By The Zombie Jesus” sounds suspiciously like a NoFX riff. The slower second track throws in some “doo-wop” style vocals as it kicks off but for the most part this is some old school pop punk. Most of these songs are very short and one of them is a whopping 18 seconds long. The catchy “Fuck Off You Bastard” is probably the standout with its lairy chorus and fist-in-the-air nature. Just don’t expect anything too high-brow here – as he says on the closing track, “So another stupid punk rock song is all that I can do”. If you like this then be sure to check his Bandcamp page out as he has been quite prolific by the looks of things.
