INFO:
The ERP's music has been aired on the wireless by the lovely disc jockeys Adam Walton on BBC Radio Wales, Steve Lamacq, How Stephens and Bethan Elfyn on BBC Radio One and numerous online stations. You may also have heard it used to soundtrack various extreme sports shows broadcast across the globe.
Bethan and Huw on Radio One were nice enough to say this about 'Fifteen':
"First there was 60ft Dolls, then came Skindred, soon after was the GLC - and now there's The Elephant Rescue Plan. Oh yes, Newport's band making machine has come up trumps again, their track 'Fifteen' is all about that awkward age, smoking out of windows, fake ID cards and late nights on the town. Something we can all relate to, with an anthemic sing-along chorus to ice the cake."

"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
