Nervous Gender, formed in Los Angeles in 1978 by Gerardo Velazquez, Edward Stapleton, Phranc, and Michael Ochoa, are pioneers of the synth-punk genre. Their confrontational performances and heavily distorted synthesizers set them apart in the punk scene. Their 1981 album, "Music from Hell," remains influential, and a remastered edition was released in 2023. In 2021, the band, now known as Nervous Gender Reloaded, released "Milking the Borg," continuing their legacy of pushing musical boundaries.
