Nerf Herder : Nerf Herder - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Nerf Herder is only thirty minutes long, and doesn't vary much (okay, at all) from the sound of three guys bashing away on bass, drums and guitar in somebody's garage or frat-house basement.

 Ink 19 :: Nerf Herder
Musically, Nerf Herder are all about the melodic power-poppy punk rock that the kids today just love.
Though their music is catchy, fun, and sticks to your head like super-glue, it's not the main reason to pick up Girls.
What puts Nerf Herder miles ahead of the zillion other bands playing this kind of stuff is their gift for witty lyrics littered with more pop-culture references than a Quentin Tarrantino flick.
