N*E*R*D (Nobody Ever Really Dies) is the alter ego of highly successful production team, The Neptunes(Kelis, Ol' Dirty Bastard, P.Diddy, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Busta Rhymes...) Pharell Williams and Chad Hugo, who've formed a band with their childhood friend Shay. Stylistically they mix modern rock/metal and R&B with classic 70's funk and soul, but come out sounding very much of-the-moment and very original.
