The Cut Ups are just what we need. In a time when punk rock seems to have gone full circle and is now being again sold back to us by the powers that be. In a time when the only thing a band needs to do to be considered ‘punk’ or ‘indie’ is actually play instruments, and a time when an entire ‘punk rock’ look can be bought online from massive clothing companies (who must not be able to believe their luck that they’ve managed to mass sell a look for people who’s main object in life is to look different!).Yes, The Cut Ups are just what we need.
They’ve inherited the honesty and integrity of the punk rock master class that is Dischord Records but rummage up the sound of old school UK punks like Snuff and Leatherface, with a huge dose of Billy Bragg thrown in. Add to that some well read lyricists and you’ve got yourself more depth and content than you can shake a copy of Maximum Rock’n’Roll at!
The Cut Ups are punk rock you can believe in as well as sing along to. ‘Is it ok that I live for punk rock bands?’ asks singer Jon Shoe in album highlight ‘I Know It’s Ok’. It is if they sound, act and look like this one! The Cut Ups debut full length album is out February 16th 2009 on Household Name Records. Buy it and buy a good time! Pippa Wragg.

"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
