Though its members are well into their 60s, the band Nervous Eaters -- only slightly tamer from their punkish heyday -- is out with a new album, 'Monsters + Angels.'
. Formed sometime in the mid-1970s, the Boston-based punk rock group experienced an era that we’ll probably never see again, a time when clubs across the city shook with the sound of rock and roll on any given night of the week. Some people go as far as labeling Nervous Eaters one of Boston’s first punk bands, a title earned from countless nights playing The Rathskeller — ubiquitously known as “” — in Kenmore Square, where they held a stint as the house band.
Now, some 40-odd years later and with a revised lineup, Nervous Eaters find themselves back in the throes of old school rock ‘n’ roll with “Monsters + Angels” , an album so rowdy and energetic, it feels plucked from the recorded archives of The Rat. Though its members are well into their 60s, Nervous Eaters head into 2023 only slightly more tame from their punkish heyday.
Elsewhere, not much has changed for Nervous Eaters in terms of scope and vision. Like in “Loretta,” the crux of Cataldo’s songwriting has been relationships — mainly girlfriends — and such is the case now. Songs like “Want You Like Before” and “End of the World Girl” rumble with the same blithe disregard to decibel levels as the band had in 1978, a flurry of crunchy guitars and shout-sing vocals about the birds and the bees.
