Nozzle Biography
Nozzle offer a hard-edged blend of anthemic rock and melodic British pop music.
Their music has been described by the music press as “a lush combination of rock guitars with a dynamic rhythm section, melodic vocals and moody atmospheres”. Nozzle, who are based in Devon, were originally formed in 1995 by singer, guitarist and songwriter Dave Blomberg and consists of Dave on guitar & vocals, Leigh Winsor on bass guitar and Joe Breban on drums.
Nozzle will be releasing their third album Empires on 5th May 2008. In keeping with the band’s DIY ethic, Empires, which is without doubt their most adventurous album to date, was recorded, engineered and mixed entirely by themselves. It captures the live energy and feel of the three-piece rock band and features some carefully constructed and well crafted songs.
Nozzle's debut album Winter (2001) received very favourable reviews in such
respected European Magazines as Metal Hammer, Zillo and Orkus. Winter was again recorded, engineered and mixed by the band at their own studio. As was Nozzle’s second album Twisted Vision which was released in September 2004 on Attack Attack Records.
In September 2005, Nozzle were signed by Jack Holzman (the man who signed the Doors and Queen) to Warner Music’s label Cordless Recordings in the US. They released two E.Ps, the Mystery E.P and the Let Me Down E.P. and were invited to New York to perform an acoustic set at the Cordless launch. Whilst with Cordless, Nozzle were approached by US film company Post Central Productions for the rights to use one of Nozzle’s songs “Fatal Beauty” as part of the soundtrack for an independent feature film called “Cherry Crush”.
Since forming Nozzle have continued to tour Europe, appearing at festivals in
Germany, Italy and on the main stage at the Beautiful Days festival in Devon. In
December 2006, Nozzle opened for the band New Model Army at their Christmas
show at a packed out Astoria in London. In September 2007, Nozzle were
approached to record some acoustic versions of their songs for a BBC Radio Devon session which was broadcast by DJ Vic Morgan.
