Label: Revelation

Reissued 5/2/2025, Originally released 1998

With this eight-song EP as the catalyst,THE NERVE AGENTS steep trajectory in the West Coast hardcore and punk underground found them playing smaller, more formative shows and growing alongside bands like TIGER ARMY and THE DISTILLERS (which NERVE AGENTS drummer Andy Granelli would join and play with from 2000 to present day). The EP was a perfect match for Revelation Records, who, in the late 1990s with THE NERVE AGENTS, IN MY EYES, WHERE FEAR AND WEAPONS MEET, and BETTER THAN A THOUSAND, was finding a return to the fast hardcore sound that brought them to underground music fame ten years prior. 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.
