MAKE NOISE CALL IT ART
PLAY BIGFOOT RPG

NVM, ILY (never mind, I love you) is the Los Angeles pop-punk vehicle for songwriter Gerald Cerda. Blending early-2000s urgency with modern emotional honesty, the project is powered by It’s Just Life Productions—a self-governed management collective founded by Cerda to bridge the gap between raw DIY creativity and professional industry standards.

About // Bio

The project serves as a singer-songwriter vehicle for a sound that blends hook-driven urgency with confessional, relational storytelling. The band embraces both the nostalgic DNA of early-2000s pop punk and a modern emotional sincerity that resonates with today's audience.

Built on guitar-driven riffs, punchy rhythms, and melodic hooks that invite singing along, NVM, ILY occupies a hybrid space between pop punk's high-tempo rebellious attitude and emo's honest introspection.

Gerald Cerda's vocal delivery shifts from urgent conviction to fragile introspection, making every word feel like a letter, conversation, or internal monologue made public.

Key Tracks // Sonic Identity

"Before You Leave" (feat. Danny Goo)

“Rapid-fire guitars, pounding drums, and a hook that sticks on first listen.” The writeup highlights Gerald’s urgent delivery against Danny Goo’s smoother, emotional counterweight — framing it as a high-energy anthem with real “love-on-the-edge” tension.

"I Know You Think This Song Is About You…"

“A standout release…” A third-party reaction writeup calls out the song’s emotional specificity and melodic punch — big hooks with a diary-entry vibe, built to be screamed back in a room full of strangers.

"bigfoot"

“High-energy pop-punk… playful storytelling and conspiracy culture.” A third-party short feature frames “bigfoot” as pure cryptid-core: fast, loud, and tongue-in-cheek — riffs and momentum built for live chaos.
