Raw Nerves is back with a new vocalist and their most refined set of songs yet. Raw Nerves' sound has been compared to early hardcore like the Fix and Negative Approach, and influences from the '90s like Citizens Arrest, Born Against and Rorschach. "Futile Efforts" was recorded at Buzz Or Howl Studios with Stan Wright (Arctic Flowers. Signal Lost, Deathreat) and mastered by From Ashes Rise frontman Brad Boatright.
