Bad Nerves

The bastard child of a Ramones/Strokes one night stand, Bad Nerves play ferociously fast distorted pop songs which has earned them tours with Royal Blood and The Darkness, drawing comparisons to Supergrass, the Ramones and Jay Reatard.

And despite all that, their pop rock is a unique - and very fast - whack over the head that reminds us all of the future life left in hell-raising loud and fast music. 

It would appear to be in the DNA of rock music, particularly punk music, that the music itself happens by some kind of happy accident.

Nothing truer could be said of the Essex five piece speed punk band.

In the hearts and minds of the cream of the alternative crop in 2020; from tastemakers such as Dan P Carter to Alyx Holcombe, and from peers like Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong to Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard, Bad Nerves were instantaneously heralded with the poisoned chalice of saviours of a type of punk that promises to never die.

The future is loud for Bad Nerves. They proactively seek to make the type of in-your-face, opposite-of-sterile, rock music that the genre was built on.

Did band life choose Bad Nerves or did Bad Nerves choose band life? It's hard to say.
