Nurds is the second studio album by the American musical trio the Roches, released on Warner Bros. Records in 1980.[1] [2] It peaked at number 130 on the Billboard 200. Nurds was produced by Roy Halee.
The Rolling Stone review noted that the Roches were "not just entertaining but downright terrifying."[3] The New York Times wrote that "Maggie Roche in particular continues to write songs with droll, offbeat imagery and explicitly personal points of view."[4] The Globe and Mail praised "the anti-star sincerity in their voices and the fragile nature of their stacked vocals, which threaten to fall out of tune at the slightest provocation, but never do."[5]
