The Nouvelles

The Nouvelles are a British indie music band signed to A1M Records, London.[1]

Under A1M Records they sold out Manchester venue Band on the Wall in late 2016 to conclude a series of indie venue sellouts across the UK.[2] They have been played multiple times on BBC Introducing and various other major stations.[3] They were named one of the top BBC Introducing North bands in 2016, and won a place in leading BBC DJ Tom Robinsons Fresh Faves several times including his elite Fresh Faves list in 2017.[4]

They played In The City, sold out Manchester Academy, and had multiple major indie festival indie stage appearances such as the Tom Robinson stage at a sold out Wychwood Festival.[5]

Some members work alongside music as mediators and advisers in the Northern Ireland Peace Process.[6]

They have released several records via A1M Records, selling out of Piccadilly Records in three hours after taking a full page advertisement in the NME. Appraising the work of Guardian music journalists David Sue and Mal Wyatt,[7] they were wary that their "Rising" tune featured prominently in the mainstream media, such as on the front cover of all regional Guardian Media Group publications.[8]

The band released a track for the Northern Ireland football team for the Euro 2016 Finals.[9]

They received commercial attention in Manchester.[10]

Videos were produced featuring the band for Football Lads and Lasses Against Fascism,[11] as well as a special John McMichael memorial tribute.[12]

The group completed production of their best of album, This Modern Sound : The Very Best of The Nouvelles, in Rochdale, England, in 2019, for release by Record Store Day in April 2020.[13]
