About Die Nerven

Sometimes superlatives can be misleading - but with Die Nerven they are appropriate. The celebrated noise/indie band from Stuttgart is one of the best that German-language guitar music currently has to offer. They blow the audience away with booming, brute songs - and not as an end in itself. Their lyrics address the big issues of the present: War, fear, the desire for change. But instead of mere anger, they deliver attitude, perspective and the appropriate musical urgency. Live, this can become a physical experience - not least thanks to the unmistakable power of drummer Kevin Kuhn, who counteracts the Sonic Youth-style walls of guitars with a force that sweeps everything away.
