[18th November, 2025] Bad Nerves – the “bastard child of a Ramones/Strokes one-night stand” – release their new single ‘Loner’, a fierce, 59-second blast of raw energy. Fans on the band’s mailing list were treated to an early sneak peek of their brand-new single ‘Loner’, and today it’s officially out- dropping the very same day they kick off their explosive UK tour, which will culminate in their biggest headline show to date at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

But the momentum doesn’t stop there. ‘Loner’ had its live video premiere last night (17/12) on Veeps.com complete with the band answering live fan questions and never-seen before live and studio footage. In addition to this, from 4pm today ‘Loner’ will receive its exclusive UK radio spin with Huw Stephens on BBC 6music.

The band has also announced an exclusive 7” vinyl arriving in December. It features the new single alongside never-before-heard live recordings of ‘Loner’ and ‘Antidote’ from their US headline tour in May 2025, plus an exclusive demo of “Braindead.”

Equal parts adrenaline and outrage, ‘Loner’ is a snarling 59 second, high-voltage critique of media manipulation and its divisive tactics. It channels paranoia and resistance in equal measure. The track’s instruments were captured live at Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard’s Studio Litho in Seattle, just days before the band kicked off their U.S. headline run. Vocalist Bobby Nerves later tracked his vocal take on the band’s tour bus in Dallas fresh from a visit to the site of JFK’s assassination.

When Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong called Bad Nerves “the best band in England right now”  before wearing their merch on the red carpet at the Grammys, punk’s worst-kept secret went global. Armstrong later invited the Essex five-piece to join Green Day on their explosive South American stadium tour in summer 2025, where they tore through their sets with the blistering speed that has become their signature.

Bad Nerves are an Essex five-piece blending the speed of the Ramones with the hooks of The Strokes. Hailed by Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong as “the best band in England right now” (before he was spotted wearing their merch at the Grammys), their self-titled debut (2020) and explosive follow-up Still Nervous (2024) won heavy support from BBC Radio 1, Radio X, Kerrang! and Classic Rock, alongside praise from legends like Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard and The Darkness’ Justin Hawkins. This was then complete with BBC Radio 1 hailing Bad Nerves as “your favourite band’s favourite band”.

Now signed to Loosegroove Records (the label owned by Gossard), the band’s sophomore record Still Nervous (May 2024) cemented their status as one of modern rock’s most vital forces, with anthems like ‘USA’, ‘You’ve Got The Nerve’, and ‘Sorry’ dominating airwaves across BBC Radio 1, BBC 6music, Radio X, Kerrang!, and beyond.

Renowned for their 200 miles per hour live shows, Bad Nerves have sold out UK and US headline tours, torn up Reading & Leeds, Download, Mad Cool, BottleRock and more, and toured with Green Day, Weezer, The Hives, Royal Blood and Nothing But Thieves. As 2025 draws to a close, the band embark on a UK headline tour culminating at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire before ending December with shows across Japan and Australia (Good Things Festival).

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.”
