Pioneering Boston rockers Nervous Eaters – contemporaries of bands like Ramones, Police, Iggy Pop, and The Pretenders – have released a new single ‘Talkk’ which comes on the heels of the band’s critically-lauded 2022 return full-length, ‘Monsters + Angels,’ on Stevie Van Zandt’s Wicked Cool Records.
Founding member and frontman Steve Cataldo says: “‘Talkk’ is very much along the lines of the Nervous Eaters song ‘Chad,’ heard on our Wicked Cool LP – ‘Monsters + Angels.’ The narrative explains a boyfriend’s loss of contact with the love of his life. He desperately tries to find her. Endlessly looking through social media, constantly walking the city streets searching the old romantic places they used to hang out, unrelenting in his promise to find her. He finally pleads with all his friends, who knew them both as a couple, to pass on this message should they ever hear from her. “Please tell her I was wrong, that I have changed my ways, and if she comes back home, there will be a brand new man here for her to find”.”
He continues: “In the end, ‘Talkk’ as with ‘Chad,’ despite all the boyfriend’s searching, he never finds her, thus he has to live with the endless regret of realizing, much too late, that each person’s idea of love is unique unto them. That physical love by itself is never enough. That listening, patience and unconditional caring is the “Real Love”, everyone is looking for. Everything else is just ‘Talkk.’”
