The Super Nashwan Kids
The Super Nashwan Kids are a group of inspired kids who believe in powerful music. Music for fashion is music without passion.
Over just five years, TSNK have played and conquered all of London's main music venues including the Mean Fiddler, Camden Underworld, Barfly, Garage... you name it, supported the likes of Hell Is For Heroes and Inme, and signed a publishing deal with Blue Mountain Music (Bob Marley, U2, Kano). Now having just released their first E.P. it looks like things are really about to kick off...
TSNK play music. Whether it galvanises, challenges, inspires thought or aggression, simply makes you smile or makes you frown, relates, makes you want to listen a little closer or just makes you want to dance - it tries to DO something. It's not a soundtrack, it's music to move to. Above all, it's a genuine and whole-hearted expression, that they put everything into; that tries to be an antithesis to the fake, lack lustre, opportunist or half-hearted mediocrity that surrounds us. Otherwise what's the point?
The Kids have defined a very individual sound that has been described broadly, as melding elements of Billy Talent with the likes of At The Drive In, Rage Against The Machine, Skunk Ananasie, Capdown, The Mars Volta, Incubus, and Michael Jackson.
They have gained acclaim for their unique tendency to juxtapose and embed deeply cynical lyrical swipes into often uplifting, colourful and yet abraisive, simple and yet thoroughly thought out, clever music: resulting in a rewardingly layered experience, (a buffet if you will) with everything you'd expect, and yet hopefully far more to offer than your average typecast pop/prog/punk/emo influenced hero-imitation rock affair. Take what you want from it, it's all good.
