"A set combining raw emotions and some high-class musicianship, the highlight of which was a 3-pronged roll of songs mid-set that went from the soft and melodic to the strong and anthemic and finally onto the simple and nostalgic, and confirmed their progressive rock tendencies."

Cornish Live Gig Review

"an assured set of hypnotically rich and textural songs, reminiscent of Radiohead and Arcade Fire"

"Nervosa's s ongs defy the current trends, opting for the anthemic over t he endemic. Not necessarily the band that would get you dancing round the room like a deranged monkey, but quite possibly the band whose infectious riffs and hooks would loop round your brain for days on end":

Noize Makes Enemies online music magazine

"A skillful and captivating performance combining great musicianship with considered songwriting leaving an enthusiastic crowd truly entertained”

Funky Moped :

“Set the ray to Jerry...this fairly obscure b-side reminds me of this song... I think it is great...this composition is cool as hell. That weird lead guitar is a definite plus...Reminds ME of Radiohead and the Smashing Pumpkins” :

“I know this will sound insane, but something in the minimalism of the guitar and vocals as well as the note selection reminds me of Bauhaus even though this doesn't actually sound a damn thing like them…almost like a way hipper update Nervosa shits out after swallowing Bauhaus via The Stone Roses.” :

“Slow and languid, definitely has a Floyd vibe to it” :

“The blazing guitars and rhythmic nature of the track give it an edgy, chill out, atmosphere that is sure to please some of the most avid of listeners” :

Breathe In :

“Good to hear something a bit relaxed for a change which in this genre is unusual. this track is solid and it has a strong flavour or sonicness like with Icehouse or early punk sound. Nice to hear new sounds produced by such youthful generations that resemble some of those cult bands we might otherwise forget. This has nostalgia and that beautiful alternative ease of defiance. I love it. “ : :

“It starts as "electronic", then adds some guitar/mandolin to make a sort of folk jam with a hint of industrial and grunge and 90's alternative. The chorus offsets nicely with the verse - earning my respect for it's fusing of different styles in a cohesive, creative and interesting manner.” :

“The intro is kind of creepy, but then when the guitars come in it sounds awesome. The vocals are very Radiohead, but in a their own unique way.”

“like tiramisu. Light and fluffy, with different layers. You sound a little like PJ Harvey.” :

“it sounds like early Gomez covering Radiohead, with a bit of Portishead thrown in for good measure!” :
