Now that’s what I’m talking about good ol’ fashioned heavy rock! Nebula delivers the goods with Charged, their sophomore album on Sub Pop Records. Nebula mixes classic metal riffs with acid rock plus some blues and classic punk elements thrown in to create an explosive mixture of sound.  Former members of Fu Manchu form the nucleus of the band so the power you’d expect is there and then some. This is underground rock at it’s best! Run don’t walk to your local CD store and trade in those damn Limp Bizkit CD’s for this CD, you won’t regret it. Two middle fingers up, way up!

Nebula are the full embodiment of heavy-psych rock: High energy electric blues, lead-footed psychedelic warriors, rock & roll road dogs and the best damn band to come down the pike in a long, long time. Sub Pop should be proud. We are.

Nebula’s new record is charged with electric guitars that send you into the stratosphere, but with a rhythm section that brings you back down to earth. This record is not only laced wit fuzz guitar and ripping drums, but also valium-induced acoustic songs full of melody and soul. Nebula explore all spectrums of sound. Recorded by John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Screaming Trees, etc.) in NTC, their second full-length, Charged, is Nebula today. 

On stage, Nebula are high-energy rock & roll. It’s easy to see what has captured concert-goers’ imaginations: spinning epic tales of astral planes, the razor-thin Eddie Glass slings is guitar about his body in complete and utter abandon, as Ruben Romano’s diesel-powered drumming threatens to send his kit flying off stage. In stark contrast, Mark Abshire lays down bass lines as thick and warm as molten lava. 

Nebula are pure guitar-driven rock of the 21st century. Rising from the streets of Los Angeles, Nebula are the culmination of their rock forbears, such as Jimi Hendrix, MC5, Stooges, Pink Floyd, 13th Floor Elevators, Black Flag, and Mudhoney, taken to the sonic level that is today. Nebula spread their gospel through their music. 

Electricity is the key. Guitars are the weapon. The message is Do It Now.
