   About The Operation
BBC Introducing with Tom Robinson on 6music PRESS QUOTES-


"Band of the year....Best live show of the year" Chris Love STAR FM


"I like it, i like it a lot, so young and so talented and so loud" Claire Sturgess XFM


"The Operation take the stage, they are going places and they know it...They are a well oiled machine, tight, polished and professional...Playing catchying rock songs with crunchy riffs and chant along choruses..they would not be out of their depth strutting their stuff on a major festival stage" Sam Mallison H20 Magazine


"A cross between Supergrass and Mid era The Who a powerful combination" Charlie Dunlap Bath Chronicle news paper


“Young, loud Brit Pop with US radio sensibility," HITS magazine USA


“Brit Pop the way it was meant to be... it’s Oasis for the myspace generation," Trade Radio and Records USA


"This three piece put on a brilliant set, and clearly had the fans here tonight....For a three piece, they certainly made a lot of noise...The singers’ powerful voice and beautiful guitar was joined by some powerful bass, and some strong beats from the drummer....reminded me of all the old rock that I’ve been brought up on, like the likes of Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin...Each song had a new and quirky edge, and the fans were loving it, which you could tell by the singing along." live-music-scene.co.uk


"More hooks than a trouts gullet" Dom Gourlay Drowned In Sound


This is the OFFICIAL OPERATION myspace page. Already making headlines in the US, The Operation are a young, three-piece power trio in the true sense of the phrase. While the ever irreverent HITS magazine calls them “Young, loud Brit Pop with US radio sensibility," and the legendary industry trade Radio and Records says The Operation is, “Brit Pop the way it was meant to be... it’s Oasis for the myspace generation," the ever-growing number of fans for the UK based group are already hooked. Hailing from the town of Bath in the southwest of England, with influences ranging from classic British rock to modern day alternative and pop, these three talented artists have carved themselves a very distinct niche, in the ever-changing UK music scene. Having played hundreds of shows throughout the UK not only headliners, but as support to some of Britain's top name artists, The Operation have also performed on many of the UK’s top seasonal music festivals. At an average age of just 21, Alex, Oli and Nick have been described in the music press as a cross between “early SUPERGRASS and mid era THE WHO". As all of their material is self-produced, the band prides themselves in having an incredibly loyal, and rapidly growing fan base. The Operation are: Alex Veale (guitar, lead vocal), Oli Court (drums. vocals) and Nick Wilton (bass. vocals).

Hello everyone,

Thank you for the support. It means a great deal - the past few months have been amazing. Great reviews, great shows up and down the country, airplay and interviews with Kerrang! Radio & Total Rock Radio, even a show at Alexandra Palace for Freestyle Festival has been confirmed.

Alexandra Palace will bring an end to our first major UK Tour. The tour leads up to the official release of our first EP proper, 'Guerilla'. This will be available everywhere on November 2nd.

If you're not too familiar with us yet, there are some reviews below and you can pick up some free downloads from our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/NIXA/8798900727).

Here are the dates (more to be confirmed).




See you out there x


"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
