U.S. Nero

New Orleans' U.S. Nero stopped by Shards to record a session in September 2015 while they were in the middle of their tour. U.S. Nero stands in stark contrast to the jam bands and cover bands you'll find in tourist areas of New Orleans. Jazz, punk, garage, and surf collide into a heady mix to make U.S. Nero's sound and, like so many other bands in NOLA's DIY scene, its members split their time between other area bands.

Wax Darts

Jersey City, NJ band Wax Darts joined us at Shards in August 2015 while they were in Bethlehem to play a show at The Funhouse. Violent pop, post-proto punk, whatever you want to call them. Maybe it's best to just quote the band who describe themselves as "The Three's Company of rock and roll."
