Rising feat Robyn Xanthia as feat Tom Robinson Freshnet & BBC Introducing

The nameless girl is far away
I couldn't be with her today
Nor for another million years
She changed my life with her lies
And through the pain she gave
She taught me to trust no-one

I remember the warmth of summer
The patterns in the sky
I remember the sound of laughter 
As she looked into my eyes
For a moment too long
Look into my eyes
Let me write this song for you

Did you know that I loved you?
I held you in my heart
You know I never loved you
Because if you'd wanted me at all
I'd be with you tonight

I'd be with you tonight

The Nameless Girl

Compilation of indie reviews -
"This local band, look set for big things judging by the reviews they've been getting lately: '"Jackson's the new Ian Brown. The band are the new Joy Division. They're gonna be massive!'; 'best new band in Manchester... "Surrounded By Angels" is already the new anthem of lad rock'; 'The Nouvelles moody elegance did bring thoughts of The Roses ... a very powerful but tight, rocking indie sound... The Nouvelles are a quality act'.
"Jacko will be massive" 
- Belfast Telegraph Music Editor Maeve Quigley 

Unique, non-conforming, authentic, The Nouvelles seek to re-create the classic underground indie band, refusing Glastonbury for a competitive Kendal Calling Sat night slot, warming up for that with a BOTW Sat night sellout. Often classed as a Manchester band where they refused to sign but became great friends of A1M Records,they actually started out in Belfast and everything about them reeks of the now defunct Good Vibrations purist indie, maybe why they are choosing to remain under the radar when being tipped up as the new Roses or whatever. #keepitindie
