The Untitled Interview #185 - Hopscotch Edition: Starring Zack O'Renick (Nerves Junior)

If you're anything like me, you love a band with a GSOH. And Nerves Junior definitely has a little bit of that. After all, this is a band claiming its interests are "love, perishables, fishing," and its influences are "eyesight, hindsight, daughters." Cheeky, aren't they? Oh, and they also happen to make some pretty fine music. Sure, the sense of humor carries over into their songs, but they do some pretty special things sonically with their hint of haunting, creeping electro-pop-rock-noise. One third of NJ, Mr. Zack O'Renick, gets all perfunctory up in this piece about Hopscotch. Make sure, if you're in Raleigh, to give them your undivided attention.
