Bad Nerves

Formed between Essex and London in 2016, Bad Nerves operate where English punk rock meets power pop and a garage‑born nervousness as much inherited from the Ramones as from New York rock of the 2000s. The quintet led by Bobby Nerves crafts short, fast, melodic songs propelled by tight guitars, straightforward choruses and songwriting that keeps a pop anchor without dulling the punk energy. After a first series of singles released from 2016, Bad Nerves put out a self‑titled debut in 2020, the live album Alive in London in 2022 and Still Nervous in 2024. Through touring the band moved from small UK stages to European and North American circuits, sharing bills with Tigercub, Royal Blood, The Hives and Green Day, and appearing at festivals. This trajectory confirms Bad Nerves’ direct, concise approach to rock, where rhythmic urgency remains central while staying within the realm of songcraft.
