Bad Nerves have just released their new track ‘USA’, inspired by Liam Lynch’s ‘United States of Whatever’ and Sham 69’s ‘Borstal Breakout’. Shortly after recording ‘USA,’ the band received an invitation to support Royal Blood in the US, presenting the perfect opportunity to introduce the song to an American audience.. The release of the single also precedes their participation in The Darkness‘ sold-out UK tour in December, as well as a European headline tour in October.
During this European tour, the band will play in Belgium twice. The first date is on 21 October at Bouckenborgh in Antwerp, and the second on 22 October at AFFectie in Hasselt. Tickets for these two concerts are already available on the venues’ websites.
Speaking about the song band frontman Bobby Bird says:
“It’s strangely satisfying yelling ‘United States of America’ over and over. You can feel it stick to the back of your throat. The unparalleled superpower of the West. Yosemite and the green mountains of BlackRock! The American dream and the mighty Super Bowl! But perhaps it’s just the phonetics. After all, Papua New Guinea didn’t have quite the same ring, although it did look beautiful through my computer screen”
