Raw Nerve @ Mousetrap

Chicago hardcore band Raw Nerve are done. They've released their final 3-song EP and completed a round of final dates that included a stop in NYC for an Easter show at 538 Johnson and a pair of Chicago shows: Subterranean on 4/13 (with Ceremony, The Ropes and Divine Right) and Mousetrap on 4/14 (with Culo, Manipulation, Vile Gash, and SQRM). A full set of pictures/video from Mousetrap is in this post, along with some video from Subterranean.

Youth Attack, home of Raw Nerve, The Ropes, SQRM, Divine Right and many others, recently repressed the highly reccomended EP from The Ropes, as well as Vile Gash's Deluded and Raw Nerve's last EP Midnight (also a favorite). Get them at Youth Attack where you'll also (eventually) find Raw Nerve's final Every Problem Solved EP.

So far no other Chicago dates to speak of for Ceremony, though the band does have a gaping hole in June in and around Cleveland and Minneapolis. We'll keep you informed, but we do know they will be at Chaos in Tejas this year as well as play NYC on their own and with Refused.
