Still Here is the true embodiment of the Nitidus sound. From the opening enslaught of Red Morning to the blistering guitar solos of Hurt, the soul-baring Outta Place and the epic chorus of Standing Here, there is something here for every rock fan.

Nitidus launched their highly anticipated follow up to A.S. It Is in front of a sell-out crowd at Melbourne's famous Esplanade Hotel.  Still Here features the first four-piece Nitidus line up, consisting of vocalist/guitarist Patrick ‘PC’ Clemenger, lead guitarist Ash Fyfe, bassist Marki Miklic and drummer Kristian ‘Doctor K’ Grondman.

Nitidus once again enlisted their secret weapon, producer Adrian Hannan (Taxiride, Delta Goodrem, Lee Harding), to create a rich soundscape that earned 8/10 on The Metal Forge. The EP's hit single Red Morning, a showcase of blazing riffs and hard hitting beats, earned the band a win at the 16th Annual LA Music Awards as Hard Rock Artist of the Year.

If you’re after some quality melodic hard rock, then you can’t go past Nitidus’ Still Here (unless you catch them live, that is).


"Both Hurt and Standing Here are first class slabs of heavy rock with a little more experimentation in atmospherics, with some nice contrasting backing vocals, distorted lead efforts and pace changes that allow for some great build ups." -- Justin Donnelly, Beat Magazine

Standing Here

"The gentle Outta Place takes the lead set by the previous track, and pushes it further at opposite ends." -- Justin Donnelly, Beat Magazine

Hurt

Red Morning is a plea to the powerful military elite: don't throw away the world, if you fire away, we all go down.  Injected full of bombastic beats and blazing riffs, this signature Nitidus track was produced Adrian Hannan (Taxiride, Delta Goodrem, Lee Harding) and scored a win for Nitidus at the 16th Annual LA Music Awards as Hard Rock Artist of the Year.

"The pairing up of the guitarists adds plenty of weight in the heavy stakes of Red Morning. Grondman manages to inject plenty of hard hitting drum sounds that underpin throughout and Clemenger's vocals bear a striking resemblance to Live’s Ed Kowalczyk in places." -- Justin Donnelly, Beat Magazine

Decreed LA’s Hard Rock Artist of the Year in 2006 and staying true to this prestigious title, Nitidus stand apart from their peers by embracing their stadium rock influences to deliver a world class sound backed by an infectiously energetic live show that has audiences enthralled.

Nitidus began wowing audiences as a cover band in Christchurch New Zealand, founded by lead singer Patrick Clemenger, bassist Jeremy Harker and drummer Andy Simmons. Having discovered a love of songwriting, the original trio recorded their debut From The Inside in 2001, which was the catalyst for Clemenger and Simmons to relocate to Australia’s booming independent music scene. Nitidus added new bass player Marki Miklic and took the Melbourne music scene by storm, though their success was marred by a tragedy no-one could ever have predicted: drummer Andy Simmons was killed in a diving accident just after recording their next EP. The EP was eventually released in 2003 under the name A.S. It Is, in honour of their lost brother.

Devastated but determined to honour Andy’s memory, a new four-member line up was assembled, including Ash Fyfe on lead guitar and Kristian “Doctor K” Grondman taking up the drumsticks for Simmons. Two years and a number of sold out shows later, Nitidus followed up with their popular Still Here release, another collaboration with renowned producer Adrian Hannan (Taxi Ride, Delta Goodrem, Lee Harding). The powerful opening track “Red Morning” earned Nitidus a win at the LA Music Awards for Hard Rock Artist of the Year, which opened the door to a national US tour and the ARIA Music Awards. Nitidus released The Taste in 2008 with new guitarist Adam Kurzel, showcasing a more bluesy, alternative slant that added another dimension to the band’s hard rock sound.

Family life took hold, putting the band on a brief hiatus, but Nitidus is back, stronger, better and harder than ever, re-releasing Still Here in celebration of its tenth anniversary.
