BAD NERVES black/red Vinyl: The bastard child of a Ramones/Strokes one night stand, Bad Nerves play ferociously fast distorted pop songs and drew acclaim with their previous releases 'Dreaming', 'Baby Drummer', & 'Can't Be Mine'. 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. For frontman Bobby, the formation of the band itself was an unintentional happenstance that just wound up taking off in unexpected but very exciting directions. Did band life choose Bad Nerves or did Bad Nerves choose band life? It's hard to say. Their second LP, Still Nervous, is due for release Spring 2024. Did they feel pressure approaching the sophomore slump, so to speak? Not at all. The process was more or less the same; Bobby demoing the tracks in his dad's garage, and then the band re-recording everything "properly" with their friend Mike Curtis. The only difference was in trying to ensure that they were still writing for themselves, and not just to satiate their new audience. "When I write songs thinking about what people expect I end up mimicking the first record, but not well," says Bobby. That internal battle was new, but Bobby quickly realised you can't write like that, and in the process of being "pissed off trying to write a Bad Nerves song", he found some of the best tracks on the album, doing whatever he wanted.
