Just in time for a US tour in direct support for none other than Royal Blood, UK’s Bad Nerves are back with a new single entitled “USA.” Here’s what the band’s lyricist/frontman Bobby Bird had to say about the track:
“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”
