Bad Nerves @ The Guild Theater was a match made in heaven. Awesome sound system, good sized mosh area and plenty of great vantage points to see this Essex band tear it up like they were in front of thousands which probably be the case with their San Francisco performance the next day at Outside Lands but it is hard to imagine them giving any less energy no matter the crowd size. They have worked hard to cull their explosive set into 70 minutes of frenzy with Bobby Nerves challenging the crowd’s energy if he senses any letdown and there wasn’t this night in Menlo Park.

I've seen them several times and they always put on a high energy, amazing show. They should be selling out arenas.

The show was way undersold and in a small venue, but the band still performed like they were at a big festival. This is a very professional and fun band and worth seeing every time they're in town. Shout out to the dance crew who got a pit going anyway ❤️

Birmingham was a vibe. My least favourite show of the tour, but still had a lot of fun.

Bad was amazing, but crowd was a bit less respectful as they should (due to very drunk and stoned people)

5 stars, 10/10. Bad Nerves absolutely killed it, and were so nice to chat to afterwards too. A tight show; loud, fast guitars; existentialist yet punk attitude; emotionally-driven lyrics that resonate beautifully. SO happy to have been at their first Australian show - hope to see them here again! Punk’s not dead, indeed.

Venue was amazing, prices for drinks were very good, the act was absolutely phenomenal and the energy in the crowd was electric

What a show.... The room was jumping around. And these guys don't let up, not for a minute. Can't wait to see the Bad Nerves show.

Energy was through the roof as expected, these guys are insane❤️🔥 Can't wait for them to be back around here so I can scream the lyrics at the top of my lungs in the front row once again🖤
(One thing tho, I naively left my jumper at the sides so I wouldn't have to hold onto it the whole time, and guess what it vanished by the end of the concert🥲 so don't be like me and watch out for your stuff🫶)

Shows in Doornroosje are always amazing. It's genuinely one of the best venues in Europe. Bad Nerves did the venue justice. They had so much energy, an explosive setlist and really witty in-between-song banter that had the crowd laughing and clapping from start to finish. They very rightfully reminded the audience that they "don't do slow songs". I also have to say that their choice of support band was perfect. I found Ultra Q to compliment them very well. All-in-all, fantastic show and good vibes.

This show was absolutely electric. I was up in the air cried surfing for a solid 20 seconds and it was the best experience of my life. Even my dad, who’s in his mid forties with back pain, joined in the pit and it was amazing. One of the best shows I’ve gone to ever.

Killer show. These guys rock and their jams make me smile from start to finish. I feel like they're about go global; glad I drove from Reno NV for the evening to see them.

2023 Best band I’ve seen live this year! Electric energy, oozed cool, band mates were a tight unison like a rumbling motor firing on all cymbals! Can’t believe we caught them on their first US tour. After the show was over they came out and hung out at the merch table chatted with every single fan!! They were so kind and nice, the drummer Samuel is the F@cking best! I’d party with him any day! I’m excited to be able to see them again in 2024! U. S. A.

These guys are AMAZING!! Killed it on stage then hung around afterwards to meet their fans. Genuinely nice guys and incredible musicians. A must-see act!

Seen the guys before & as they don’t play london much I grabbed my chance,
Brought along my son and his friend, after all, my son did get me into this band ,
Bad nerves in my opinion, or a band that are just 100% excellent ,
Their music is pure perfection ,
From the moment, they walked on stage, they just rocked,
The whole band move around, so excited,
Their body language just makes you want to dance ,
I noticed in the crowd many of what I seem to think was Black Honey fans, and they started to rock out and sway to this fantastic sound,
I think they won a lot of new fans tonight ,
What was extra special was we happened to meet the band afterwards as they were near their merchandising table,
They were extremely friendly and we had some photos. This was a highlight for my son and his friend.
I urge you to see this incredible band,
They are going to be huge .

Awesome!! Can't wait to see them on a headlining tour. Fit a lot of music into a support slot, full gig would be great.
