In celebration of three decades of geek rock history, Nerf Herder returns with Nerf Herder [redux], an acoustic reissue of their groundbreaking 1996 self-titled debut, originally released on Arista Records. Produced by the legendary Joey Cape (Lagwagon), this 30th anniversary collection breathes new life into fan favorites, with stripped-back versions of the hit singles "Van Halen" and "Sorry."
With a tracklist complemented by refreshed versions of »Golfshirt«, »Diana« and »Nosering Girl«, the album serves as both a nostalgic depth for long-time fans and a fresh introduction for the band's large digital audience. Nerf Herder's enduring cultural footprint — from composing the iconic Buffy the Vampire Slayer theme to the Emmy-winning career of lead singer Parry Gripp and 2 million YouTube subscribers — makes for a generational appeal.
The band, which has already shared the stage with greats such as Weezer, Circle Jerks and Reel Big Fish, has gained a loyal, active fan base. This release comes in the run-up to their 30-year European tour in late May and early June.
