All we've ever wanted to do is play. We never wanted to hark back to the "golden age" of guitar music or emulate the past actions of our idols. We set out to experiment and to create a sound that interested us and encouraged our audience to share our vision of music unconfined. It wasn't that we were deliberately trying to be different as much as we found no inspiration in the mundane. We drew on an eclectic range of influences to create a progressive hard rock hybrid, an indefinable yet distinct and listenable sound that evolved free from the shackles of the generic.
And people seemed to enjoy it.
Now, after nearly four years of gigging, touring and recording, we find ourselves experienced, professional, motivated and in need of exposure. All we've ever wanted to do is play. Now we want to be heard.

"NIXA possess a quality that sets them apart from other front runners on the alt/rock scene with perfect dynamics and incredible song craft. They bounce between gentle and aggressive in a single beat, tied with soaring harmonies and mesmerising stage presence. This band will find themselves being listened to by a wide audience, no doubts in both the alternative and commercial rock scenes" TOTAL ROCK
"...done very, very well. Deep, powerful voice, BIG music and just the feeling that something very professional is happening -I don't mean in a clinical way, just in that way that, when you find out they're unsigned, it's a bit of a shock!" XFM
"The absolute epiphany of my weekend was London based Nixa. Everytime I see this band, I fall in love a little bit more. Their performance was stunning and it was definitely the climax of the night as things petered off afterwards. Their Biffy Clyro-esque style, gorgeous vocal harm
