Nerd Revolt
:: September 20, 2012 :: by Meaghan O'Rourke
Dig good beats? Synths and other electronics perfectly crafted for dancing? That’s pretty much Nerd Revolt’s self-released, self-titled, debut album. Two classically trained musicians, taking on the pseudonyms iLL F.O. and m.0., front the band. They archive their saga at www.dejaded.com.
Put on your headphones, crank up the volume, and dance. “Fallen,” track 8, soars. Immediately, the duo’s phenomenal talent as musicians and lyricists is evident; and iLL
F.O.’s voice? Perfect. There are other album standouts. Track 7, “Running to Nowhere” captivates; again, with ILL F.O.’s voice.
F.O.’s voice? Perfect. There are other album standouts. Track 7, “Running to Nowhere” captivates; again, with ILL F.O.’s voice. Passion is evident. The duo’s classic training is evident. Nerd Revolt doesn’t deliver a disorganized, confusing mix of electronica. It’s deliberate. It’s tactful. This band has immense potential to excel in their genre. All they have to do is continue to make noise!
