“Petite and feisty might be the obvious place to start describing front lady Niccy, but that does not get you anywhere near the depths untold. You’ll find it hard to get past that dry sense of humour to what is her essence by the direct route. Luckily all you have to do is listen to her lyrics and it becomes clear there is a sharp mind at the wheel. If you think you understand her lyrics you haven’t grasped how the band name describes her perfectly. Go and listen again and see if you can find the truth in the message.

Her meticulousness doesn’t stop with the lyrics, her melodies have to carry the words to the listener exactly right or the song just isn’t happening. Niccy is taking the classic dance vocal style to exciting new levels with her range and progressions”.

“Hard Rock found Raph young and it never let go. While his father tattooed people’s skin, the music tattooed Raph’s brain. Now the music just won’t stop coming out and an epic new band was needed to absorb and shape the sounds. Not content with just the rock of his past Raph has delved into electronic music and brought the two together. As a founding member, Raph had the vision to collect musicians from a range of backgrounds and blend them into something special.

That blending doesn’t stop with the melodies, Raph’s production skills help create the entire soundscape you hear from the first second to the last and every possible fraction in between. Did you hear that? Not the first time and maybe not even the second. Go back and find the hidden gems Raph has hidden in the bowels of the song because I bet you missed a few”.

“Blakey was born and the world changed forever. Coming from a background of bass driven ska punk his bass lines form more than just the rumble to be felt and not heard. Something different happens when his fingers move, he is one of those few bass players that captivate when playing alone. So when surrounded by SUBTXT’s collection of influences his sound does more than complete the rhythm section it completes the band. There is melody here, it will find you and you should let it.

Blakey has been the first stop for many artists looking for a new song. He is a prolific song writer, writing for more bands than he has been a member of. As founding member of SUBTXT, his song writing was a major driving force in attracting the other members to join”.
