Its members are Vim Fuego [Alan Metcalfe], vocals and lead guitar (played by Adrian Edmondson); Den Dennis, rhythm guitar (Nigel Planer); Colin Grigson, bass (Rik Mayall); and Spider Webb, drums (Peter Richardson).
Their first appearance was in 1983, in the first series of The Comic Strip Presents... (written by Edmondson, and produced by Michael White/Comic Strip Productions). The episode, Bad News Tour, took the form of a spoof rockumentary, in which the incompetent band is followed on tour by an almost equally incompetent documentary crew.
Coincidentally, it was in production at the same time as the similar film 'This Is Spinal Tap', which was released the following year.
The band made numerous promotional TV appearances including Channel 4's now iconic 80's music show 'The Tube' and the BBC's primetime talkshow 'Wogan'.
They initially released a self-titled album, consisting of thrashy rock songs interspersed with arguments amongst the band. Brian May of Queen produced the album, which included a cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".
They also played a tour of theatres, universities and colleges as well as playing Reading Festival in 1987.They also had a suitably bad opening set at the Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington. This performance was featured in a second Comic Strip film, More Bad News, broadcast in 1988.

Bad News Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was my heroin; she was my love and hate.
She was perfection in a pill that takes me away.
This is life as addiction.
This is love without a gun.
This is my heart in ink as bold and black as the night we ended and as weak as your skin deep smiles. And this pen digs me into holes I can't write out of, I can't climb out of.
These are the hands that will bury my face.
There's the floor I retreat to every time my world caves in.
These are the palms that capture tears; they never saw the light of day.
And it feels like we're fighting uphill and it feels like we're pissing in the wind.
The lyrics to Bad News's song "Bad News" express intense struggle and addiction in a relationship. The opening line "I bite my nails until they bleed" suggests a form of self-harm and anxiety. The singer then delves into their dependence on their partner, describing them as both a source of love and hate, and as perfection encapsulated in a pill that provides escape. The lines "This is life as addiction" and "This is love without a gun" further emphasize the toxic nature of the relationship.
The second stanza speaks to the singer's pain, as they describe their heart in ink and describe their inability to escape their situation despite their writing attempts. They continue to convey their despair with the line "these are the hands that will bury my face" suggesting a sense of hopelessness. The following lines describe a pattern of retreating to the floor and capturing tears, painting a picture of a relationship fraught with emotional turmoil.
The final line of the song "And it feels like we're fighting uphill and it feels like we're pissing in the wind" communicates the futility of trying to hold onto a relationship that is harmful and unsustainable. Overall, the lyrics of "Bad News" express the devastating impact of addiction in a relationship and the inability to escape despite one's best efforts.
