The Nervous Eaters are an original rock and roll band from Boston, MA who helped define the Boston underground garage/punk rock scene of the late '70s. The band was formed by Steve Cataldo on the North Shore of Boston in Beverly, MA. Fueled by the raw sounds of Link Wray, early Chicago Blues greats and British guitar legends Beck, Clapton, and Page, the Nervous Eaters created a raw edgy song style uniquely their own. This single presents two previously unreleased tracks from 1980, taken from a reel recently found at Perfect Crime Studios in Watertown, MA. 100% Eaters sound: sharp guitars, hooks galore, their world-famous rhythm section and the unmistakable vocals (and songs) of Steve Cataldo.

The sequel to Nervous Eaters' Eaterville Vol. 1 (PENN 001CD/PENN 002LP), Penniman Records huge seller from 2004/2019. With the usual delay, comes the long-awaited second volume dedicated to rescuing unreleased recordings by this classic, killer band from Boston. After the demos and singles on Rat, included in the fantastic Vol. 1, get ready for the fabulous sequel which includes mostly live material never before released. Eaterville Vol. 2 is not a compilation of lo-fi recordings, rehearsals, etc., but a collection of material taken from radio broadcasts or recorded directly from the soundboard of the clubs where they used to appear almost weekly between 1976 and 1979. Here you will find more potential hits that never materialized ("Someone Else In Your Arms", "Necessities") along with alternate versions of their classics ("Hot Steel And Acid", "Red On White") and completely over the top live versions of their most explosive material ("Just Head", "Degenerate"). All with remastered sound, Paul McGuire liner notes, previously unreleased photos, and vintage press-clippings. Nervous Eaters have just released the new CD Record 10 and the band are working on another album, to be released by early 2021.

2024 repress. An authentic '70s USA proto-punk gem by Nervous Eaters, one of the key groups of the rich late-'70s Boston rock scene along with The Real Kids, DMZ, etc. A long-awaited reissue of their second single, originally released on Rat Records in 1979. Recorded in 1975 during the same sessions as their debut, Loretta (PENN 45005EP), this 45 was their last release for an independent label; the following year they signed with Warner. Both songs display the class and bad attitude that saw them included in the best punk compilations and incited many covers of their material in the years since.

PENN 45005EP
|
Originally released by Rat Records in 1976 and recorded in the same session as "Just Head" and "Get Stuffed" (PENN 45004EP), Nervous Eaters' debut really put the band on the map. Playing as a trio without their second guitarist, Stanley Clark, Cataldo and co. display all the band's trademark elements: great songs, love of classic rock 'n' roll, and raw simplicity. "Loretta," a true gem of the Boston rock scene, is perhaps their best-known song; it would later open their 1980 self-titled debut LP. Both tracks, including the cool Stonesy B-side "Rock with Me," have been remastered. Original sleeve.
