[26th August, 2026] Bad Nerves return with the new video for ‘Network’, their heaviest track to date. The music video premiered last night on YouTube with the band joining the live chat to celebrate the release with fans.

The announcement comes fresh off an extensive EU and North American tour, which saw Bad Nerves take to the stage alongside rock heavyweights including The Offspring and Die Toten Hosen. Back in the UK for the video premiere, the band won’t be home for long. They’ll soon be heading back across the Atlantic for a headline U.S. tour, bringing their year to a close with a run of shows across the States.

Supported by Kerrang, BBC Radio 1, Classic Rock and New Noise Magazine on its release, ‘Network’ marked the beginning of a bold new chapter for the Essex five-piece and offered the first glimpse into a forthcoming exciting announcement.

Speaking of the video, frontman Bobby says, “We filmed this video the day before we left for the US tour that we just got home from! We shot it at Sam’s Studio in Southend (Morley’s Studios) and our good friend Alvin Adams setup his massive screen so we could play in front of it. It was a proper job setting that up! It had big black drapes all around it too. It was BOILING hot. Unbearably hot. We managed to shoot all of it in about 6 hours or so. Directed by my very talented brother Donnie Clemson, with one of my best friends in the world Dan Eden operating as DoP/AD! I had to edit this on the road which wasn’t easy. I did most of the editing in the window of a tiny takeaway Starbucks in Chicago that had no toilet. Finished it across several plane flights. Hope you like it!”

Built around an atmosphere of mounting tension, ‘Network’ explores the modern manipulation of public thought through digital media, social platforms and 24-hour news cycles. The song takes a broader aim at the systems that shape perception, influence behaviour and quietly control narratives. It is a challenge to the endless stream of information we consume every day and a call to think beyond the noise.

The past two years have seen Bad Nerves reach new heights. Following the release of their critically acclaimed second album Still Nervous, the band have toured relentlessly across the globe, sharing stages with Green Day across South America and Europe, Weezer throughout Europe, and taking their explosive live show to Australia and Japan. Along the way they’ve stepped up to major festival main stages, appearing at Lollapalooza Chile & Chicago, 2000Trees, Rock IM Park/Rock AM Ring, Sziget Festival and more this year, cementing their reputation as one of the most exciting live bands in modern rock.

When Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong called Bad Nerves “the best band in England right now”, punk’s worst-kept secret went global. Armstrong later invited the Essex five-piece to join Green Day on their South American stadium tour, introducing the band to some of the biggest crowds of their career. The momentum has then only continued to build. Alongside extensive international touring, Bad Nerves recently partnered with Nudie Jeans and featured on the cover of Goldmine Magazine, reflecting the growing cultural reach of a band that has steadily evolved from underground favourites into one of the most talked-about names in modern guitar music.

Still Nervous and their self-titled debut received widespread support across BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X, Kerrang! and Classic Rock, while BBC Radio 1 famously hailed the band as “your favourite band’s favourite band”. The records represented a defining step forward for Bad Nerves, expanding their audience globally and setting the foundations for what comes next.

Now entering their most ambitious chapter yet, Bad Nerves are looking firmly forward. ‘Network’ is the first signal of a larger statement to come, with a new announcement set to follow alongside their next single.

With an exciting excitement around the corner, frontman Bobby Nerves concludes, “It feels like this is the main thing we’ll ever do in our lives. If we’re remembered for anything, let it be this.”
