This video was made by the 3 pronged attack. it was shot in the same film school johnny was kicked out from. Thanks to all involved.
"Underground anthems and supercharged love songs from an unhinged anti-hero. Super Nashwan are a rebellion tearing into this digital world with razor lyrics, euphoric gospel melody and songs just bursting with tender soulful cool."
THE INDEPENDENT
"The perfect antidote to the ubiquitious skinny jeaned and angular guitared fashion bands of our time. Super Nashwan are real people making real music: with every live show sending 2000 uplifting volts straight to your heart."
METRO
"Hailing from Nigeria, Hackney and Liverpool, Super Nashwan are as a colourful as a cartoon villain but as real as a flick knife" VICE
"Gold Future Psychobilly Magic"
ROUGH TRADE
"they make a time machine of hipness, travelling through every great record made in the last 50 years... Super Nashwan have more ideas in a blink than most bands have in entire careers, and what's more they deliver it all with an effortlessly don't-give-a-fuck attitude. "
THE LIST
"The records are welded together in a basement and the live shows can be as a precarious as a drunken blind-folded tight-rope walk, but there is something so intense and honest about Super Nashwan that you leave their records and gigs with the sense that you have witnessed something truly important. They remind me of the love song: Super Nashwan, I don't know why I love you but I do" FACTMAG
“Your heroes are not dead. Super Nashwan can rebuild them. They have the technology. They have the depth. Super Nashwan are the raw sonic messiahs that can resurrect the snarled lips of Mark Bolan and the shaking hips of Elvis and fuse them together with the metallic efficiency of a Robot DJ to make a new blues for the 22nd century”
OPTRIX
"Super Nashwan, a real find... they took to the KOKO stage as a young whirlwind of Gospel singers, Caped Keyboard players and dirt-driven guitars. Suddenly we had a six piece band on stage who made the atmosphere kick into the fever of a festival. Super Nashwan's frontman takes you through a hot spectrum of anthemic emotions that leaves you feeling truly uplifted. No question - Super Nashwan steal hearts"
LIVEMUSICREVIEW.CO.UK
"Johnny Nashwan, clever thunder in human form, twangs the strings on his steel string guitar like whip lashes... lurching his gospel gang's supercharged rockabilly into a futuristic space race to unchartered (and for now at least) un-charted waters."
VIEWLONDON.CO.UK
"A rockabilly west coast swagger. A slew of great songs and more ‘tude than the whole Geldof clan mud wrestling with Naomi Campbel on a BA flight. . Yes, that full of ‘tude."
