Main Stage
Bad Nerves
Bad Nerves prefer to be addressed as the bastard sons of the Ramones and The Strokes. After a one night stand. Feel free to add The Clash and Supergrass. The results are not hard to guess: good old-fashioned blaring English (garage) punk. The London rioters' songs are full of adrenaline and venom. It is a pleasing, searing return to the 70s that sounds simultaneously brand new, yet timeless. After barely two albums, the list of famous admirers is impressive. It includes Mick Jagger, Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam), Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) and Justin Hawkins (The Darkness). 'Current best band on the planet', they confidently claim on their website.
