Steve Sherlock of nerd punk band Nerf Herder has an erudite personality, making him both lighthearted and sincere, but in a geeky sort of way. That’s definitely the best way to describe the drummer, who phoned in to chat with Punknews while on lunch break from the art department of the Southern California skateboard company he works at. Punknews' Rose Eden spoke with the founding member about the re-issuing of American Cheese, the difference between Nerd Core and Nard Core, how Mark Hamill ended up in one of their videos, and what’s been keeping the band going after nearly twenty five years.

No Fun At All have announced their first new album since 2018. Titled Seventh Wave, it will be preceded by a new single this week called "It's Not A Problem." Vocalist Ingemar Jansson had this to say about the new song: I live on an old farm that's been owned by my family since the 1850s. 20 years ago when my father died I decided to move in and to be the one responsible for keeping all the houses and buildings in good shape. To be honest most of the time I love it, but sometimes there is that ”The Shining” feeling, am I going crazy!!?? Seventh Wave is due out out later this year.
