According To Their Record Label Thrill Jockey Records On Which They Released Their First Album Nerves In 1998 "they Have Been Burning It Up Ever Since. The Music Is Pure Rock And Roll.

THE NERVES California Jack Lee Peter Case And Paul Collins All Composed Songs And Sang.

The EP Was Distributed By Independent Bomp! Records. According To His Website Paul Collins Re-Released The Nerves On Vinyl And Compact Disc Through Alive Records/Bomp Records In 2006. Despite Their Limited Lifespan And Discography The Nerves Remain Notable For Many Reasons. They Were The Founding Vanguard Of The LA Pop Scene That Eventually Produced The Knack And The Plimsouls. After The Nerves' Break-Up Case And Collins Formed The Breakaways With Pat Stengl A Group That Would Have An Even Shorter Lifespan Than The Nerves. Thereafter However Case And Collins Went On To Front More Famous Groups The Plimsouls Who Had A Billboard Top 100 Hit With "A Million Miles Away" And The Beat Respectively. But Perhaps The Most Notable Legacy Of The Group Is The Song "Hanging On The Telephone" Popular Group Blondie Later Covered The Song On Their Smash Album Parallel Lines And Turned It Into A UK Top 5 Hit And Thanks To Blondie's Success The Song Has Become Something Of A Standard Later Re-Done By Groups As Diverse As L7 Def Leppard And Cat Power Whose Version Was Featured In Cingular Commercials In 2006 . It Is Likely Some Of These Artists Are Unaware Of The Original Nerves Version. According To Some Sources Blondie Decided To Cover The Song After A Trip To Japan. Someone Slipped In A Tape Of The Nerves In Their Car's Cassette Deck And Their Japanese Driver Who Didn't Speak A Word Of English Started Tapping Along To The Song On The Steering Wheel. Blondie Included A Second Lee Composition On Parallel Lines "Will Anything Happen?" Lee Also Went On To Write A Hit For Paul Young "Come Back And Stay". "Hanging On The Telephone" And "When You Find Out" Were Later Released On A 1993 Rhino Records Power-Pop Compilation DIY Come Out And Play - American Power Pop I 1975-1978 Which The All Music Guide Gave The Full Five Stars Review . The Nerves Also Had The Honor Of Appearing On The Album's Cover. More Recently Rhino Included An Unreleased Nerves Track Case's "One-Way Ticket" On The 2005 Compilation Children Of Nuggets AllMusic Review A Sequel To Their Popular Nuggets Compilations.
