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.”
