Press Reviews:
"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" Alli Hodge, TotalRock Radio
"...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!" Marsha Shandur XFM
"Gutsy, melodic, and totally credible, Nixa deliver that refreshing breed of British rock that will fly off shelves and download sites." Dave Grenfell, FeedMe Music, Promoter of The Year 2008 Indy Awards
"One of the top 10 unsigned acts in the UK" Metro National Newspaper
