Sounds Like: "Catchy melodies and repetitive themes that sound very understated but manage to be irritatingly compelling...perhaps it's the mildly Franz Ferdinand-esque melodies - maybe it's the kick-ass nifty New Order/Monaco-esque bass lines - could it be the infectious percussion work - or is it the well proportioned voices that get the words across so well? I just don't know what it is!! But, it's more than just OK!" - ToxicPete.co.uk
"For a band that have only been playing live for under a year, Nephu Huzzband, a Nottingham based four piece, have got it going on!...Influences like Sonic Youth and Joy Division underpin every sound they stir up and rip through, tightly performing kick ass song after kick ass song. " - Sandman Magazine
"Nephu Huzzband's EP is a collection of very promising songs in a post-punk, slightly emo (I mean this in a good way relating to the genre's better output, no whiny American suburban teens in sight) vein, giving large nods to 80's alternative greats such as The Cure, Joy Division, The Smiths and maybe even a wee bit of Sonic Youth, while also maintaining quite a unique sound which is quite a rare thing amongst young guitar bands these days. It's hard to say exactly how I'd categorise it, post-something, but it has the potential to be right up my street in terms of "alternative"- how I hate that word - guitar music" - Subcity.org
"Their riffs are well written and interlock well mixing a weird indie rock sound with a very progressive edge, imagine a tug of war between Franz Ferdinand and At The Drive-in with The Pixies cutting the rope and it all ending in a huge messy pile" - Saggy Pants Magazine
