Ferocious four-piece The Nyx are making music with a purpose and they’re doing it with huge servings of attitude, emotion and raw authenticity.
The band have revealed the third single to be taken from their self-titled debut EP is Myself, which premiered on Louder Than War and is available to stream via The Nyx's Soundcloud page.
The EP kicks off with the single Hideaway, immediately introducing you to electrifying riffs and front woman Simone Picknett’s undeniably unique vocal blending 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. Adding Collette Williams on drums, the grunge-rock outfit was complete and these fiery females are now ready to redefine what it means to be a girl in a band.
This release amplifies the energy of this flaring female-piece who have something to say and stand for.
The Nyx is out on 21st April 2017 via Rumours Music.
