EP review: THE BLOODY NERVE – Act II Reckoning

Website [Release date 25.03.22]

Act II/episode 2 of the Bloody Nerve’s new album ‘All Blood, No Treasure’. Unlike most artists who release a new album whole, the Bloody Nerve are releasing their new album in instalments.

The Bloody Nerve revolve around Nashville based duo vocalist Laurie Ann Layne and vocalist/guitarist Stacey Blood.

Three songs, including the album’s title track, and each one brings something new to the band’s sound. The title track is an out and out rocker, pummelling the senses in under three minutes, whilst ‘Down To The Letter’ keeps the rock vibe going, albeit with a more radio friendly sound. ‘Doin’ All Day’ is a glorious mix of the duos vocals, arranged gospel style, coupled with heavy and heft guitar. Quite possibly their strongest song to date.

The Bloody Nerve do it again with three more strong songs on what is shaping up to be one of 2022’s ‘must have’ albums. ****
