Bad Nerves have revealed their lo-fi video for single ‘Electric 88’.
Directed and produced by the band’s very own Bobby Nerves, the track taken from their highly anticipated self-titled debut album, set for release October 23rd via Killing Moon Records.
Fuelled by existential anxiety, and a proclivity for the ‘live fast, die young’ ethos, Bad Nerves have served up another exciting slice of punk rock. The track was also picked by Modern Age Music for its Song of the Day segment last month.
This hi-octane debut explores familiar human experiences filtered through a nihilistic lens, touching upon the anxieties of lost youth, in the never-ending pursuit of self-improvement and the justification of existence.
All of these matters are perpetuated by the backdrop of futile modern distractions and disheartening comparisons drawn through the illusions of social media.
Bobby added: “‘ELECTRIC 88’ is about having a good time whilst you can, cause the world is fucked up and the clock is ticking.
“I still can’t imagine looking in the mirror and being an old man, but obviously, I know it’s a certainty. Unless I die young I guess… But that reality coupled with finding it extremely hard to breath most of the time is kind of what kick-started the theme of this song.”
Bad Nerves are a 5-piece Powerpop-Rock ‘n’ Roll band from East London, comprising of Bobby Nerves – Vox, William Phillipson – Guitar, George Berry – Guitar, Jonathan Poulton – Bass and Samuel Thompson – Drums.
The bastard child of a Ramones/Strokes a one-night stand that play ferociously fast distorted pop songs, packed with earworm hooks and melodies.
