'Highly rated in Manchester's musical community, The Nightjars are a proud group of individuals, who take their art seriously, distinctly separate from scenes and overnight fads' “Genius …. inspired by the likes of The Fall, Sonic Youth, The Buzzcocks and Can, The Nightjars are an old-school rock band in the best possible sense of the word, full of steely 'The Nightjars are the kind of band who sneak up on the radar, release their payload and then disappear as we all sit in the resulting mushroom cloud of tunes, with "what the ..?" buzzing round our cerebellum' “While many people decide to bury their heads in retrospective sand, The Nightjars continue to shape their own future. Together with The Longcut and Polytechnic, this is the real future of guitar pop and we have nothing to fear.” “…The Nightjars are THAT good. The way in which they combine glittering guitar and syncopated rhythm suggests an agenda that reaches further than some el cheapo descending chord sequence riffola…. The Nightjars sound hugely ambitious and capable. Do yourself a favour, and look up this sensational band. They sound like they've come for us.” “The Nightjars come from Manchester, but instead of following in the city's tradition of writing stadium anthems for "the lads", they are more at home making the kind of brooding, disparaging salvos of distress more freely associated with a younger Radiohead.” “These songs are genuinely original and could lead you to sit up all night talking about forming a band, smoking till bleary eyed dawn breaks and you find yourself hemmed in with records strewn all around you and the bottles empty. Yeah, they’re good… Coming to the end of their set that night, I realise that I haven’t heard a band sound so ‘live’ since I first saw The Longcut years before.” |
