Lyrics by the iLL.F.O.
locked into denial
fear of unknown
the wound is still open
knife digs deeper
hide in your illusion
distort reality
poison my vision
to steal the light in me
you darken my horizon
set my sky on fire
night is caving in
i’m running to nowhere
you desecrate the shadow
i hold deep inside
don’t take away my demons
they make me feel alive

The last couple years have been so amazing! You’ve been with us through the making of our debut album– from the production process right up until release day 
As you know, we’ve gone underground to work on a new live set… and have been DYING to play for you cyborgs!
Well… we just couldn’t wait any more.
Over the next few months, we’ll be posting up a few live in-studio performances– NR’s way of saying thanks for all the support you’ve sent our way. We heart you guys so much!
The first NR Transmission goes up Wednesday, March 13.
We’ll see you back in the studio… can’t wait

Yay, dejaded turns 4 today! This has been the most beautiful and life-changing experience ever. Thanks for being a huge part of it!
While I was living in NYC, I was depressed and creatively frustrated. I’d had lifelong dreams of being an artist, but felt like I was getting nowhere.
I kept writing in my journals, knowing I’d share these stories one day. Hoping they could help someone else in their struggle.
That was the original idea behind dejaded.
I knew I’d tell these stories… but what I didn’t see coming was this amazing experience we’ve all been sharing! My creative collaboration with m.0 (my cyborg co-pilot) has been mind-expanding, and the journey with you guys has been moving.
Thanks for sharing your art, ideas, and lives with us… let’s keep reaching for our dreams together!

We just hit 100K views on YouTube… yay! 
We’re extremely grateful nerds, and wanted to say thanks for all the love you’ve sent our way
When we started our YouTube channel back in ’09, it was just me and m.0 hanging out and capturing whatever happened. We discovered we had just as much creative chemistry with our cameras as we did with our synthesizers! Now here we are– obsessed with directing, editing, and cinematography-ing…
The best part has been not only sharing our videos, but sharing this amazing life journey with you guys! More and more of you have reached out with your music, art, and stories… you’re so inspiring to us, and we feel this awesome connection with you guys <3
Thanks for supporting NR and being a part of our world… let’s keep this beautiful journey going

Here’s an interview I just did with LA-based podcast Enter the Shell!
I spoke with ETS founder and producer Turrtle about all things NR: production on our album, shifting roles in the band, being obsessed with synthesizers, and becoming dejaded. It was a super fun chat!
I was excited to find out what Enter the Shell is all about… I love that their mission is to empower artists, and hook up music lovers with fresh ear candy. Happy and grateful to have Nerd Revolt be a part of it!
Here’s to building positive, inspiring movements in the music world

Lyrics by the iLL.F.O.
my soul can’t stop bleeding
me seeing you seething
not love
but needing
your demons crashing down
my eyes return to blackness
this time i won’t back down
i’ll leave you with this violence
twisted
send me to hell
escape this one
twisted
i’m running to hell
escape this one
my mind
still speeding
no sense
no meaning
your pride
i’m feeding
your shadow haunts me still
i’m purging all your darkness
won’t take your poisoned pill
and descend into madness
twisted
send me to hell
escape this one
twisted
i’m running to hell
escape this one

“Photo Test” was an intense musical journey for us. It’s another instrumental off our album, and it came together really naturally. While “Oh” is a more driving, ominous track, and “Heady Beat” is… well, heady… “Photo Test” falls somewhere between these realms. It’s funky, psychedelic, experimental… and of course, full of NR-ness
We started out with a few jam sessions… m.0 programmed the hypnotic arps and funky bassline, which made a great foundation for all my atmospheric layers. I went to town on SkriLLa– designing lush pads, subtle whooshes, melodic stabs… I played the lead melody live, so it has a more “human” feel than if I’d programmed it in. I’m still a cyborg though 
m.0 overdubbed some pads to fill out the space, and give it more movement. Then I slipped down the rabbit hole and hit the arrangement! I spent many late nights burning candles during this one…
We went on a creative journey, and wanna bring you along on it too. Close your eyes and enjoy the ride…

We’re wrapping up a crazy summer– letting the album release sink in, starting rehearsals, and mapping out the future. Feeling super excited about fall 2012
Production begins on our next music video this week! We start filming tomorrow. The video drops at the end of September… more details on the way
We’ll be uploading another behind-the-scenes video in a few days… yay! Get ready for some über-psychedelic NR-ness
Rehearsals are going really well… we plugged out for almost 2 years to do the album. Cannot WAIT to play live again
Hope you guys are doing awesome… major hugs!

“Oh!” is one of the instrumentals off our debut album… and it was the most challenging song to finish!
It was a struggle putting together the arrangement. It either felt too stiff and repetitive, or not cohesive enough. Finally, I erased everything I had– 6 months’ worth of edits– and started over from scratch.
From there, things flowed and it opened up a whole new direction for the song. It inspired some of my most psychedelic programming
There were even more challenges when things moved to the mix stage. With so many textures and melodies, it was hard to get everything sounding punchy and not muddy. m.0 was definitely working overtime!
This was one of the most exhausting points of our album journey… so, it feels awesome to emerge from the rabbit hole and share the experience with you
