Press Releases
"Full of the funky blues, Neville lays down smooth grooves with plenty of delta & flemmenco style lead guitar intermixed with jazz fueled fusion, and lots of kickback.There’s also alot of jamming on No Need To Hurry, but when there are vocals courtesy of Neville Klotz himself (who’s also doing the fine picking on the album, and no I don’t know if he’s related to the Jack Klotz of WEA fame), the music takes a definite alternative feel, and the vocal timbre is similar to a whiskey worn Elvis Costello or tenored Shawn Mullins.
All In A Memory has a spanish guitar lick that goes in and out over a lounge groove and Klotz croacking what has to be a hit. On much of the album Neville and his band lay back, right on the edge of the slur. It’s a genuine sign of quality. Anyone who likes great songwriting, songs, and style, will dig No Need To Hurry". - Todd"Every track is a winner. The music itself is constructed in a very creative way always keeping you captivated. The lyrics are clear and easyily related to.
All in all, a real easy listening winner and the more you listen the better it gets.Perfect for a lazy afternoon to relax the soul,
Great work Neville. 10/10" R.A"I love the lyrics. Love the music. This guy has talent talent talent. Can I say this again? Talent is key. Listening to this song (No Need To Hurry) makes me not hurry to get to the next destination, but makes me study the music carefully and listen to the production. It is damn good. keep it up." C.D
"When first hearing this band, one instant vocal recognition came to mind Jakob Dylan, lead singer of The Wallflowers and son of Bob Dylan. Its good to be compared with talented and successful musicians, but Neville has a range all their own. This raspy and old soulful sound draws you in and keeps you wanting more. Mixed with beautiful rhythmic lines and compelling lyrics, Neville is a soulful, eclectic band with a definite present and future in the music world.Originating from South Africa , Neville K has worked with many talented musicians and producers. The fusion of rock and folk that is brought by each outside influence creates a genuine combination. There is an underlying theme that runs throughout Neville’s catalog belief that honesty can break down all barriers and truth can reveal beauty, although sometimes scarred. Hope shows the rawness of reality with a vocal track, voicing a compelling political and social commentary. Keeping with the same vein, Sugar in My Veins eludes to the same reality with a beautiful melodic sweetness. The band switches gears by cranking up the momentum on Hide your Disappointment. Unlike the previous two, this track is more lively and rock driven. This band shows that you can vary your stylistic range but keep a lyrically symbiotic relationship strong.
With such influences as Dave Matthews Band, Harry Connick, Jr. and Counting Crows, one can see how this band has a great collection of artists to strive from and create a following all their own." - Melody Geear
"Neville K has promising fresh sounds of
the soul which makes music come alive.
Somewhere between Santana, and the greats!
I wish him all the best in the music industry, he will go far". S G
