"French revolution is igniting across the channel earheaded by paris upstarts nelson"
ANOTHER MAGAZINE

"Nelson. These guys are the premier French art-popsters, and are a thousand times better than most of the Libertines influenced bands coming from Paris at the mo."
NME
"(...) Franco-New Order types Nelson extend an offer of entente cordiale"
NME

"Stalwarts of the scene from the very beginning, Nelson’s deconstructed take on Art-Rock has earned them a deal with an independant label Diamondtraxx."
DAZED AND CONFUSED

"these young Frenchmen carry off the dark suit jacket and skinny jeans with a chic touch that most English blokes can only dream of."
The Times

"Nelson are purveyors of the 'nouvelle vague' of the French rock scene."
