Sounds Like

"Steeped in the nervy new wave of the late 70s, this is a fine exercise in minimalism"- Q Magazine

"Nottingham's most recent local boys doing good. Expect to hear throbbing guitars, stadium-sized choruses and a sound so anthemic the likes of Mark Burgess and Carlos Dengler would be proud." - Drowned in Sound

"Robert Smith vocals welded grainily to the fuselage of a soaring, nu-gaze, Q & Not U-esque ‘does-this-fit-here?’ mentality. And that’s audibly applaudable”- The Fly

"Distinctly scratchy and lo-fi, the rhythms are also skittering and droningly dead pan and guitars atmospherically affected in the best of These New Puritans' 'noir' style. Bleak early eighties stylised pop along with enough abrasion and edge to satisfy both minimalists and artROCKERS alike." - Artrocker

“These gawky depressed underdogs are painfully brilliant”- Music Week

"Despite being a mere 1 minute 27 seconds long, ‘Nurse! Nurse!’, the new single from Nephu Huzzband is quite possibly the most exciting slab of new music I have listened to this year" - Sonicdice

“Effortlessly fluid, refreshing and, ultimately, real…a vital addition to the early Eighties reincarnation drive”- Alternative Ulster

"The band mix and mash stabbing guitars, rapid fire drumbeats and dark melodic vocal croons to create a sound not unlike that of Joy Division or the hugely underrated Q And Not U."- RBFanzine.co.uk

"Nephu Huzzband play with a fluidity that belies their age; punctuated with stabbing reverb-soaked guitars and early Cure-inspired hooks and vocals... a sound that broods and enthrals in equal measures" - IndieLondon.co.uk

Nephu Huzzband have been loitering around the periphery of the local music scene for a good 18 months or so now. Anyone who has witnessed their live show, particularly in recent months, will be only too aware of the band's rapid development into one of the most exciting new acts in the region. - Dom Gourlay, Rock-City.co.uk

"Catchy melodies and repetitive themes that sound very understated but manage to be irritatingly compelling...I just don't know what it is!! But, it's more than just OK!" - ToxicPete.co.uk

"Nephu Huzzband's EP is a collection of very promising songs in a post-punk, slightly emo vein, giving large nods to 80's alternative greats such as The Cure, Joy Division, The Smiths and Sonic Youth, while also maintaining quite a unique sound which is quite a rare thing amongst young guitar bands these days. " - Subcity.org
