Onder de liefelijke klanken van 'nursery rhymes' werden in vorige eeuwen vaak de wreedste gebeurtenissen verhaald en werd aan politieke boodschappen lucht gelaten. De songs van het Leuvense The Nursery Rhyme hebben vast en zeker iets van beide kanten. Hun teksten geven een realistische, ietwat ironische kijk op het leven, waarbij de lijn tussen ernst en knipoog niet altijd duidelijk is. Zo ontstaat wondermooie, akkoestische folkrock die evenzeer aan songwriters als Simon & Garfunkel herinnert als aan meester- van-de-akoestische-emo Eels. Hartverwarmend en nooit vervelend, een zeldzame combinatie... (Cutting Edge review)
Since 2006 The Nursery Rhyme is known as the band of singer/songwriter Jasper Stockmans. In 2009 The Nursery Rhyme presents a debut ep with head- and heartstrong popsongs and a subtle sixties-seventies touch. The warm voice of storyteller Jasper Stockmans combined with kinky songs, percussive piano playing, cool drumbeats, smooth baselines, tearing violins, melancholic strings and reaping organs, define the dreamy and sometimes spooky, but easy-going sound of The Nursery Rhyme.
However, Jasper's skillful songwriting style was foreshadowed by a musical career with a punkband called Oversized. This band released 2 CD's and some songs received airplay on Studio Brussel. Oversized played at festivals like Suikerrock and Marktrock, and with bands like De Mens and Therapy?. Appreciation increased, resulting in a victory in the rockcontest Rockvonk and several gigs in France, The Netherlands and Denmark. Influenced by bands like The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Zombies, The Kinks, Donovan, Bob Dylan,... Jasper became interested in a new world. When he finished the search for excellent musicians for a new project, The Nursery Rhyme was born.
The Nursery Rhyme started to perform in the supporting programme of bands like Absynthe Minded & Sukilove and started doing gigs in Brussel (VUB KultuurKaffee), Leuven (STUK, Kulturama, Depot), Oostende (Theater Aan Zee), Dranouter ('t Folk Muziekcentrum), Antwerpen (Arenbergschouwburg),... Airplay on radiostations like Radio 1 and Studio Brussel for the song ‘Bet On You’ completed the picture. In 2009 The Nursery Rhyme started recording a debut ep with producer Pascal Deweze (Sukilove, Metal Molly). The ep will be released on Sugarbeat, the new recordlabel of singer/songwriter Anton Walgrave. In 2010 the first full-album will become a reality.

Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. MARK 13:33-34 (KJV)
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life,and so that day come upon you unawares.For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. " LUKE 21:32-36 (KJV) Peace and Love in Christ.Jesus Godspeed.
