Today is the official release date of the @thenerveagents reissues! Check out Rev’s @adam_violentz , who managed these projects from beginning to end, with a VERY quick peek at the deluxe packaging!

When laying out the @thenerveagents Days of The White Owl reissue, Eric came in with a prototype pasted and scribbled onto paper Trader Joe’s bags. . From Eric’s interview on @noechodotnet “Tom Klein from Revelation, the art guy there, he did a fantastic job on this stuff. Really laying it out and putting it together. I actually walked into Revelation one day with my mockup of The Butterfly Collection, which may have the biggest booklet that we put in. I put it on like… paper trash bags with a bunch of Sharpie pens, marking up where things should go. It looked just like a giant piece of garbage! And I handed it to him and was like ‘this is it. This is what I’ve got!’” . It will never be thrown away . #thenerveagents #nerveagents #hardcoremusic #hardcorepunk #punkmusic #punkvinyl #hardcorevinyl #revelationrecords #revhq

“When The Nerve Agents came in, we were at what felt like ‘the tail end’ of something in the hardcore scene. A scene that shifted into something different. Not because of The Nerve Agents, but what we had seen, at that time, was there was just a division, between punk and hardcore, and what we were doing.⁣ ⁣ “The Nerve Agents was bringing all of our stuff to bear - the music and the creativity. We’re seeing this division, so we were like ‘let’s shake this up a little bit and come out and bum people out. If they don’t want to be at our shows and they can leave, right?’ ⁣ ⁣ “And so we threw on the old Social Distortion / 7Seconds eye-makeup, and we got a lot of bummed out people around that.”⁣ ⁣ Head to the No Echo website where @darrenofnanos spoke with The Nerve Agents vocalist Eric Ozenne about their history, California Hardcore, and their new reissues coming out on Revelation Records ✌🏼⁣ 📸: @luxpunx ⁣ #hardcoremusic

Had a little chat with one of my favorite front men in the game, Eric Ozenne. Read it over at the best online zine dedicated to hardcore, @noechodotnet . We discuss how The Nerve Agents album represses came together and a lot more. Everything is available now, go grab some records and merch!

@thenerveagents ! All three 12” vinyl reissues on @revelationrecords including The Butterfly Collection and new merch - PREORDER now available at coretexrecords.com THE NERVE AGENTS were born from the late-’90s, Bay Area Hardcore scene with vocalist Eric Ozenne, formerly of local stalwarts UNIT PRIDE and REDEMPTION 87, joining with Tim Presley and Andy Granelli of MODEL AMERICAN. What resulted was a throwback sound to an era of hardcore punk not unlike early-YOUTH OF TODAY, CIRCLE JERKS, 7 SECONDS, and AGNOSTIC FRONT, that still managed to showcase the members’ personalities and experiences, with art and lyrics reflecting on Ozenne’s time in the military with vivid references to the horrors of chemical weapons. This new pressing is the first vinyl pressing since 2014 and features a full-color obi strip plus an eight-page booklet with lyrics, and expanded artwork featuring flyers, and writings from both scene luminaries and casual fans of the band, showing THE NERVE AGENTS deep connection and reverence to all who they touched. The second and final album from THE NERVE AGENTS, The Butterfly Collection was released in the summer of 2001 by Tim Armstrong of RANCID’s Hellcat Records while the band was at their peak, having become known the world over as one of the most intense live acts the punk world had seen in generations. Out of print since it’s original release in 2001, Revelation Records is proud to bring The Butterfly Collection back to vinyl. Housed in a gatefold jacket with a full-color obi and 20-page booklet with new artwork, never before seen photos and flyers, and much more. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of Days Of The White Owland is now available for the first time in a gatefold jacket with a full-color obi and includes a 20-page booklet featuring photos, flyers, and writings from both scene luminaries and casual fans of the band, showing THE NERVE AGENTS deep connection and reverence to all who they touched.
