San Antonio punk band Fea come roaring back on The Nerve, their first album in years and their debut for the Cosmica Artists label.

Drummer Phanie Diaz and bassist Jenn Alva formed Fea from the ashes of Girl in a Coma, and with singer Letty Martinez they made two albums for Joan Jett's Blackheart Records. The Nerve was four years in the making and marks the first Fea record with guitarist Adrian Conner, who adds extra muscle to the band's Chicana punk attack.

Leadoff track "Careful" is a warning shot about speaking out and the cost of unchecked power, while "Poison" takes aim at health fearmongers with sharp sarcasm, drawn partly from Martinez's experience of her son's autism diagnosis. "Paco," sung in Spanish, turns to grief and the guilt of those left behind, giving the record its rawest emotional moment.

The songs push back against politicians rewriting history and a system that wants everyone quiet, yet the album also finds room for parenting, loss and the messy realities of adult life, all delivered with the snarl and swing of classic seventies punk.

It's punk with something real to say, and proof that time away only made Fea's voice louder and more urgent.
