After a multi-year hiatus, band members moving away, but having left us with a concise yet totally ripping discography, NURSE has returned. Their LP on State Laughter brims with a freshness that's elusive in our current age - like pulsing beats of the 80's LES channeled into raging hardcore punk, radiative riffs that beg imitation, genuine and expressive howling that compels you to listen to what they are driving into your brain, a tightness bordering on amputative. They're a band that has flown under the radar for long enough to re-emerge with a vengeance in an era of endless self-promotion and shallowly xeroxed punk - or as Matt Korvette put it in Yellow Green Red: "If you are less inclined to seek out by-the-numbers punk, Nurse extend their hand to you, wrinkled and grey with long pointy nails."
