Energetic rockers The Nyx have now shared a new video for their dynamic single Fire Breathing Lady, which features on their debut self-titled release out now via Rumours Music. These empowering women are making music with a purpose and they’re doing it with huge servings of attitude, emotion and raw authenticity.
The raucous new video premiered on Tom Tom Magazine and is available to watch now via the band's YouTube channel.
Fire Breathing Lady is also available to stream on the band's Soundcloud page now.
The EP kicks off with the band’s previous single Hideaway, immediately introducing you to the band's ability to create electrifying riffs and front woman Simone Picknett’s undeniably unique vocal blends effortlessly with the girls’ solid harmonies throughout. Simone explains “Hideaway is about the struggle of the push and pull of an over thinking mind. What's real and what’s not”. The next two tracks on the EP, Fire Breathing Lady and Myself, were written in the early years of the band’s formation. The first of which, an angsty track delivering a strong yet fun message, shows a grittier side to the band. Its brimming with quirky guitar licks and front woman Becky Wixon’s fierce vocal delivery is paired with almost glam rock style harmonies from the rest of band. Final tracks Myself and ‘Home’ build slowly, showing the band’s musical versatility whilst still evoking the same uncontrollable energy and intent that carries throughout the entire EP.
The band originally formed in High Wycombe, which included Becky and Simone (vocals and guitar) and Ruby Rose Lee (bass). Having already received praise from the likes of Q Magazine, Absolute Radio and having previously supported well-established acts such as The Subways, the girls decided they wanted to move in a different direction and thus The Nyx was born.
These fiery females are ready to redefine what it means to be a girl in a band. Their debut EP amplifies the energy of this flaring female-piece who have something to say and stand for.
Self-titled EP The Nyx is out now via Rumours Music. It is available to buy on iTunes and stream on Spotify now.
