They are on the road right now, somewhere in France. But sometime the coming week Nerves from Ireland will make their way to Rotterdam and play a few sets at Left of the Dial (and take note of the fact they also play the Official Unofficial program!). Singer-guitarist Kyle Thornton quickly wrote us a shot e-mail with his tips for Left of the Dial 2024.

Adore
Garage punk with the hookiest hooks you’ll find, dancing shoes required.

A mix of indie, psychedelic shoegaze and punk, I get a real Brian Jonestown vibe off these guys.

Black Fondu
Saw this guy in the Windmill Brixton last year and absolutely loved it, amazing production and a brilliant presence.
