DEFINITIVE ANTHOLOGY FROM POWER POP PIONEERS THE NERVES OUT OCTOBER 23 ON THIRD MAN RECORDS

Third Man Records is proud to announce the definitive anthology from groundbreaking power pop pioneers The Nerves. Released in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Los Angeles-based trio’s self-titled 1976 EP and only official release of their all-too-brief lifespan, The Nerves – Best Collection gathers 66 glorious minutes of studio, live, and demo recordings, compiled in close association with surviving members Paul Collins and Peter Case along with the late Jack Lee’s daughter Cynthia.

Unlike previous anthologies that often relied on secondary copies or rips from vinyl and CDs, Third Man located The Nerves’ original source recordings, now newly mastered or remastered by Warren Defever at Third Man Mastering in Detroit, especially for this release. As a result, The Nerves – Best Collection features the definitive versions of these tracks as they were originally intended, many of which have not been heard since the day they were recorded. Highlights include Case’s chiming classic “When You Find Out” – later reimagined by Case with The Plimsouls and covered by such artists as Graham Coxon and Peter Bjorn and John – premiering today at all DSPs and streaming services alongside an official music video featuring rare archival footage streaming now on YouTube. The Nerves – Best Collection arrives digitally via TMR and on CD and limited-edition 2xLP colored vinyl, both with exclusive new liner notes by Peter Case, on Friday, October 23. Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now.

The Paranoyds are back with LATE NIGHTER

“We didn’t know it at the time, but it all started with a vanity plate: L8 NYTR,” say The Paranoyds. “Then there was the tour with the Kills, the two most genuine people and authentic rockers we might have ever crossed paths with. We spent most of August going to Jamie’s home studio with the goal of writing a song a day. We eventually recorded our demos with him later that November. daylight savings comes in, and it gets dark so early--perhaps the depth and grit that our summertime demos needed? We would leave the sessions and come back the next day to find that Jamie had worked total studio magic on the tracks after we left. he was our late nighter, el capitán, guiding everything to exactly where it needed to be.”

Die Spitz Release "American P0rn" Music Video

Hot on the heels of explosive performances at Coachella, being selected as a Spotify Artists to Watch 2026 and in Zane Lowe's 26 for '26, Austin, TX four-piece Die Spitz share a video for “American P0rn,” a standout from their acclaimed debut album Something to Consume, out now on Third Man Records.

 

In a recent profile for their Future of Music issue, Rolling Stone called the track “a direct shot at sexist record industry insiders, and some older dudes who come to their shows just to leer at them.” “It’s a very angry song,” says the band’s Eleanor Livingston.” “And I want the people that come to our shows just because we’re pretty women or they want to sexualize or objectify us to listen to that song and tell us if they’re still a fan.”

Third Man Records Announces Ted Lucas’ Images of Life

Today, Third Man Records announces Images of Life, a career-spanning, 3xLP retrospective boxset illuminating the staggering breadth and depth of Lucas’ work, out May 22nd.

 

In conjunction, they digitally release disc two, Rainy Days (1970-1974), available to stream in its entirety today. Disc one, Strange Mysterious Sounds (1965-1970), highlights Lucas’ flirtation with psychedelic major label clout via his bands the Spike Drivers, the Misty Wizards and the Horny Toads. Disc two, Rainy Days (1970-1974) contains the solo acoustic warmth and charm most similar to the music found on his self-titled album. Finally, disc three, Impossible Love (1979), is Lucas’ lost second album. The album, produced by the legendary Don Was, highlights Lucas’ smooth songwriting and near-"yacht rock," while never betraying the true artistry and craft of a once-in-a-generation talent.

PRE-ORDER IMAGES OF LIFE

 

Rainy Days Available

On Streaming Now

Rainy Days (1970-1974) captures Lucas’ early ’70s period, the most consequential of his career. It was at this time that a rejected Warner Bros. songwriter demo was transformed into one of the most significant (and overlooked) private-press folk albums ever made. The compositions Lucas created between 1970 and 1974 represent the  peak of his creative work, and the decisions he made about when and how this music saw release (if it was released at all) sealed his fate to be largely unappreciated in his lifetime. Rainy Days features stunning live performances, unreleased studio tracks, and intimate home recordings that reveal a musician at peak expressive power.

Connie Converse How Sad, How Lovely Out Now

Nearly 51 years after the singer-songwriter’s disappearance comes the first reissue of this album in nearly 10 years in any format. 20 tracks (including a bonus 7" featuring the previously unreleased “House” and the new remix of “Playboy of the Western World” courtesy of Dirick Cummins) that are as poignant and potent as ever and showcase an artist that was operating light years ahead of her time.
