History
Nervus began as a bedroom songwriting project for singer and guitarist Em Foster in 2014, before expanding to a full band with the addition of Paul Etienne on keyboards, Jack Kenny on drums and Karl Woods on bass. They released their first album, Permanent Rainbow, on Venn Records, a label run by members of the band Gallows, in 2016.[1]
In early 2018, the band announced they would be releasing their second album Everything Dies on Big Scary Monsters on 9 March 2018.[2][3] In mid 2018, Karl Woods left the band and Lucinda Livingstone, also of the Brighton band Cultdreams, joined as bassist. On 27 September 2019, Nervus released their third album Tough Crowd, again on Big Scary Monsters.[4]
