The Nerve Scheme is a local punk band I've been hoping to see for some time. If the tunes they have posted online are any indication, they're a pretty tight band in a Fat Wreck Chords kind of vein. Tunes "Not Sorry" and "Dorktown" (both available for download) reminded me a bit of Bad Religion and Social Distortion -- not a bad set of sources if that's really where they're coming from. Formulaic? Well, yes. But there's a spark on the recordings and I'm eager to see if the live show kicks it up a notch. It doesn't appear that the boys are playing all that often, but they have scored a few choice gigs. On Aug. 24, they'll be at Steppin' Out with Agent Orange. Then, looking ahead to Sept. 30, they're set to warm up for a punk-adelic double header featuring The Queer and The Independents.
