About Me

Barry Murphy - Lead Vocals & Guitars Kenneth Murphy - Bass Guitar & Backing Vocals, Paul Fortune - Percussion & Backing Vocals, ***NEW BAND MEMBER*** John Watchhorn - Lead Guitar & VocalsWe formed in February 2007, with the goal of playing good music, producing good music and most importantly playing what we enjoy playing.We do covers as well as our own songs. Getting loads of gigs playing our covers sets, and this is giving us the chance to play our original material to different crowds and obtain some feedback.We got into a recording studio recently and the results are above for you (hopefully) your listening pleasure. We will have some new recorded songs up pretty soon!If you like what we're doing thats great, and if you get a chance to come and see us sometime even better!! Her is a the first independent review from musicreview.com. Check out the following extract: "Nero are possibly the busiest band in Enniscorthy, Wexford. A three piece in the style of Arctic Monkeys, Dirty Pretty Things or Babyshambles they have a rather good vocalist and songwriter in Barry Murphy and they have posted up some tracks that push all the indie buttons. There's a good band in there fighting to get out and maybe the songs will take shape into something worthy of their potential." - MUSICREVIEW.We have also had some reviews of our songs on www.garageband.com. So far, 'Give Me This Moment' has won Best Guitars and Best Drums in Indie Rock week beginning 17th March 2008. You can check it out and how our other songs are getting on by clicking the Garage Band links across the way!
