Bad Nerves

The bastard child of a Ramones/Strokes one night stand, Bad Nerves play ferociously fast distorted pop songs. Their self-made debut put them in the hearts and minds of the cream of the alternative crop; from UK tastemakers such as Dan P Carter to Alyx Holcombe, to rock legends such as Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard. Drawing comparisons to Supergrass, the Ramones and Jay Reatard, they proactively seek to make the type of in-your-face, opposite-of-sterile, rock music that the genre was built on.
