THE NICOLES R.I.P

About Me

Hello we were The Nicoles.
We are four people in college from York in England in the World.
We made music and played it to people who came and saw us at gigs.
We made our music because we were inspired to make it by bands such as Placebo, Smashing Pumpkins and many others. We like these bands.
Our Drummer is called Jamie, he is nice.
Our singer and guitarist is called Ben, he was quite nice.
Our good guitarist is called Sam, he is very nice indeed.
Our bassist is called Thomas, he is the nicest.
We played gigs around York and we sometimes played at partys because we like our friends.
The Talk said: "The Nicoles were recieved eagerly by a substantial crowd. The bands musical ability far exceeded their years. The layered composition echo-ed that of 'Arcade Fire' but was punctuated by an occasional sparseness which saved The Nicoles from the kind of noise over kill that many bands of this kind can often deliver. All said and done they are a great band, go and see them." Matt Grace.
Radio 1 - Bethan Elfyn: "This well deserves to be on the show tonight - a beautiful piece of music - ambulance" Radio 1 - Huw Stephens: "Sounds good".
The Evening Press said: "Their sense of dynamics is impeccable, songs soaring and sweeping from verse to chorus, guitar lines cutting like scythes, nods to Radiohead and The Pixies fully realised.
Dark, brooding indie par excellence, rumbling like rolling thunder."
The Talk magazine said: "Expertly delivered contemporary alt-rock influenced by the familiar sounds of The Smashing Pumpkins and The Pixies. Their refusal to adhere to and mould themselves around the dictates of fashion will garner some new fans on the strength of this performance, The Nicoles should be very proud."
