UK punk rock firebrands BAD NERVES have unveiled the official music video for their latest single, “Network.” Directed and produced by brothers Donnie Clemson and Bobby Bird, the new clip arrives as the band prepares to return to North America next month for a run of headline shows, festival appearances and dates supporting Sex Pistols feat. Frank Carter.

One of BAD NERVES’ heaviest and most urgent songs to date, “Network” signaled the beginning of the next chapter for the Essex five-piece when it arrived earlier this summer. The track earned early support from Kerrang!, BBC Radio 1, Classic Rock and New Noise Magazine and serves as the first taste of what the band has coming next.
Built on a mounting sense of tension and the breakneck energy that has become a hallmark of the band, “Network” takes aim at the relentless flow of information shaping modern life. The song examines the influence of social media, digital platforms and the 24-hour news cycle while questioning how easily perception can be manipulated amid the constant noise.
The new video follows another massive summer for BAD NERVES, who have spent much of 2026 on the road across Europe and North America. Their recent run has included shows alongside The Offspring, Die Toten Hosen and Rise Against, as well as appearances at Lollapalooza Chicago, Outside Lands, Sziget Festival, Rock Werchter, 2000Trees, Jera On Air and more.
The band will return to North America in September, beginning with a September 18th performance in New York before continuing through October. Along the way, BAD NERVES will play a combination of headline dates and major festivals, including CityFolk, CBGB Festival and Austin City Limits, while joining Sex Pistols feat. Frank Carter for select shows.
The upcoming run continues a remarkable stretch for a band whose reputation as one of rock’s most exhilarating live acts has taken them around the world. Following the release of their acclaimed sophomore album, Still Nervous, BAD NERVES toured with Green Day across South America and Europe and Weezer throughout Europe, while also bringing their live show to audiences in Australia and Japan.
Their growing profile has earned some high-profile admirers along the way. Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong famously declared BAD NERVES “the best band in England right now” before personally inviting them to join Green Day’s South American stadium tour. BBC Radio 1’s Daniel P Carter has similarly dubbed them “your favourite band’s favourite band.”
Both Still Nervous and the band’s self-titled debut received widespread support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X, Kerrang! and Classic Rock, helping turn the once-underground Essex outfit into an increasingly formidable international force.
Frontman Bobby Nerves says:
“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.”
