Los Angeles California – Nerd Rock favorites Nerf Herder will be releasing their fourth album entitled “IV” via their new deal with Oglio Records, distributed by Fontana/Universal. “IV” is produced by Angus Cooke (former The Ataris), owner of legendary Santa Barbara based Orange Whip Studios. Nerf Herder will tour to support “IV” which includes odes to cassettes, orange backpacks, golfshirts, orb clutching dragons, manatees, the awesomeness of Led Zeppelin, Santa Barbara, high school dances and later high school reunions all mixed with perhaps the album’s greatest secret ingredient, unrequited love.
The razor witted “IV” continues in the vein of the classic Nerf Herder of “Sorry”, “High Five Anxiety”, “Mr. Spock” and “Van Halen” fame, as well as sly Jim Gaffigan references, securing the band as one of melodic Geek Rock’s leading lights. Lev Grossman from Time Magazine’s “Nerd World” blog recently had not one but two Nerf Herder tracks in their Top 10 All Time Nerd-Pop and Nerdcore Songs. New music videos include “Oh Me, Oh My” and an animated video for “Manatee” by Decoy Milk.
The band takes their name from a Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back reference — when Princess Leia insults Han Solo with “Why you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!”. They are also responsible for the Buffy The Vampire Slayer theme song and performed as the very last band to play show’s fictional venue during Buffy’s final season. Nerf Herder music can also be heard in the MLB 2K7 video game and in the Geek By Night podcast series.

Vince Charles, the Trinidad-born steel pan player known for his long tenure in Neil Diamond’s band, brings island phrasing to classic holiday repertoire on *Caribbean Christmas*. The album centers lead steel drum with light percussion, bass, and straightforward Caribbean arrangements. Traditional melodies stay intact, but the steel pan tone shifts each song into a warm, rhythmic island setting. It serves as a direct, accessible introduction to Charles’s style and a seasonal record with a clear Caribbean identity.

Originally released by Oglio Records in 1996, *Rock and Roll Will Never Die* captures Chicago cult artist Wesley Willis in his mid-90s prime, documenting his signature song-form: preset-backed Technics keyboard tracks, spoken/sung verses, and shout-along choruses built around real people and bands he encountered. Across 24 songs, he name-checks everyone from Hootie & The Blowfish, Nirvana, and Foo Fighters to Shonen Knife, Liz Phair, and KMFDM, delivering off-kilter tributes that sit somewhere between outsider art, punk energy, and homemade hip-hop. This CD edition collects many of his best-known “band songs” in one place, a direct snapshot of Willis’ uniquely blunt humor, obsessive detail, and DIY recording approach.
