The acronym N.E.R.D. Stands for 'No One Ever Really Dies,' but childhood friends Chad Hugo, Pharrell Williams, and Shay Haley have certainly used their band to proudly emphasize a range of inspirations, from Burt Bacharach to Bad Brains, that is scholarly in scope (if gleefully irreverent in execution).

Nerd Fly Or Die Vinyl
You already know the story of the Neptunes, Grammy Award
winning producers and songwriters Pharrell Williams and
Chad Hugo, but the N.E.R.D. trio consists of Pharrell
Williams, Chad Hugo, and longtime friend and creative
wunderkind, Shae Haley. The album is a blistering mash-up
of booming hip-hop beats and rollercoastering rock riffs,
rumbling crunk rhythms and scintillating soul music.
Whereas their first album, 'In Search Of...,' was an
imaginative, exploration of identities, and their second
album, 'Fly or Die,' sought out the range of genres and
sounds that have influenced the group, 'Seeing Sounds'
grinds everything together, evoking a sound that is
un-tethered by preconceptions and convention. It is also
an album that amplifies the style and attitudes that have
made Pharrell, Chad and Shae transcendent cultural icons.
'The Neptunes is what we do, but N.E.R.D. is who we are.
It's our life' says Pharrell. The three of them together
combine for uninhibited explorations of sounds, emotions
and truth, adhering to no agenda, subscribing to no rules.
N.E.R.D. is the way they live their life, they way they
see the world.
