Sounds LikeApparently we sound like... ... "A cross between Joy Division and The Smashing Pumpkins" (E.Toner - EBA Promotions), "...high FX guitar akin to Bloc Party..." (guestlistmusic.blogspot.com) and "Best thing in town since the inception of the wheel" (according to TLOB) "The ethereal and by comparison mellower sounds of THE DRAKE EQUATION are equally compelling. “Stop The World” is a haunting affair as singer Craig delivers a series of lilting Californian melodies , cut to the progressive lo-fi jams of each guitar jangle. ...they certainly have some great ideas to kick start everything off. Short loops and busy guitars demonstrate a thirst for just trying something different, but it’s the hazy American melodies that seal the deal (check out future classic “Feels Better”). Ones to watch" (manchestermusic.co.uk)

Thank you thank you for your friendship. As a token of our gratitude for the support - please let us offer you some free tunage! You can download 6 of our songs for free from our Facebook page - NIXA on Facebook. If you don't have Facebook, let us know and we'll sort something out. NIXA x

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
