With influences spanning the alt. rock genre, NOUR produces a blend of familiar styles, with an added experimental twist. With a guitar sound likened to everyone from Fugazi through to Weezer, alongside vocals more akin to classic UK punk, the group is forging a sonic landscape of their very own.
Their eclectic live set encapsulates psych, shoegaze, hardcore punk, doom, and indie, alongside loud / quiet dynamics more reminiscent of '90s rock. The band aims to evoke the spirit of their idols Hüsker Dü and Nirvana, without being merely another stale copycat. Contemporary British acts, such as Forever Cult and Basement, inspire not only a part of NOUR's sound, but also their DIY ethic.
"NOUR craft rough and ready psychedelic force perfectly embodying Hull's DIY ethic; championing fuzzy, shoegazing riffs and challenging instrumental soundscapes that clash against nifty progressive rock drums and emotive, raw vocal stylings. The threesome have emerged, and will doubtlessly join the city's other alt-rock standouts by garnering national acclaim."
