It was produced and engineered by Paul Miner, now known for his extensive production credits and, most notably, for his work in the band, Death By Stereo.

It was followed by the band's first full-length album, Days Of The White Owl, in 2000, also on Revelation Records.

Overview

The Nerve Agents play a brand of hardcore punk which is influenced by the likes of Youth of Today, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Cause For Alarm, 7 Seconds, and Cro-Mags. [1]

They play short, often fast paced, songs with a distinctive vocal style – alternating yelling with growling.
