Nag

Nag is a punk band from Atlanta, Georgia, which has been around since 2015/2016 and features members of bands like Predator, GHB, Acid Freaks and Beat Beat Beat. 

 It all started with a self-released (later out on Scavenger Of Death) cassette in 2016.

With these 7 tracks of highly surprising punk rock, Nag delivers an original mix of modern post punk with some dark 77 influences (the dark side of the Damned ?).

Hopping from the psyche vibes of Dead Sea to the pure punk gem energy of Identify this demo is a real album, full of diversity and great songs which deserve a proper vinyl release.

A great start for sure!  

 First vinyl release on Total Punk a few months later, once again Nag doesn't like to do like everyone else and delivers 2 songs way more interesting than the usual low fi garage punk 7" you can (mostly) find on Total Punk.
False Anxiety is a beauty of simple perfect punk song and I'm So Small is an extremely surprising 3 minutes long dark complain, jumping from fast drumming to slow despair...
 

 

 And the band is not slowing down a bit, releasing two more 7" in 2017:

Files on Space Taker Sounds and Henry's Lathe on Chunklet Industries.

Keeping it a bit psyche and dark but definitly punk, Nag still has a lot to say.

Next release is a split 7" on Space Taker Sounds with Lip from Baltymore (check their garage post punk out!) in 2018.

Two songs of 80s psyche punk with weird noises and some synth (the end of Surfer!), Nag is not giving up!

And after a little line-up change on bass we arrive to the latest Nag release (december 2019), Red Panda, which doesn't seem to have any physical existence yet. 

Three songs for what probably is their best material to date, three songs of high energy post punk with a beautiful 77 vibe, three songs of pure Nag genius...  

You can listen to Nag on Rien à Faire #8.
