Andrew Goble, ES ’15, Max Gordon, SY ’15, Elliah Heifetz, TC ’15 (former YH Culture and Reviews editor, forever YH friend), and Paul Hinkes, ES ’15, started Nero as a pop songwriting project; the band’s been releasing demos for about a year now. (You may recognize “Where I Go” or “Lose That Girl,” among others.) Their friendly faces and “pop, indie, disco” tunes have been featured at Sig Ep and even opened Spring Fling. Since then, they’ve spent the summer writing, recording, and performing in NYC; this single, and their forthcoming EP, are the fruits of that labor.
The new song is FUN you’re gonna LOVE it we PROMISE. “We’re going for clean, punchy, punk-y throwback pop songs with a wink,” said Heifetz. Perfect for your throwback Thursday—or your plain old Monday, Tuesday, whatever. Butbutbut that’s not all! There’s also a lyrics video, featuring Calista Small, BR ’14. The vid is as visually appealing as the song is catchy. Small has really nice flowing golden locks; in fact, the only problem with this video is that it might make you feel self-conscious about your own unwashed library topknot.
Even more good news—video launch means their website’s live! We’re expecting great things from NERO MY PANDA DOT COM, home of the aforementioned earworm/hair porn combo. Click it click it check it out.
Today, Nero is everyone’s panda.
