Editor's note

Nephew's sharp Danish pop and social commentary

A Danish band known for mixing catchy hooks with lyrics that tackle social issues and national identity.

If you want to get Nephew, start with 'Va fangool!' and 'Police Bells & Church Sirens'. They give you the hooks and the commentary in one go.

Nephew's music sticks because it's got that pop feel but doesn't shy away from saying something. 'Va fangool!' became an anthem in Denmark even with its rough edges, and songs like 'Police Bells & Church Sirens' show how they weave social critique into the melody. They've been a voice in Danish rock since the late '90s, always with a bit of bite.

They started in Aarhus in 1999, with 'Movie Klip' dropping the next year. The 2004 album 'USADSB' pushed them into wider view, and later records like 'Danmark Danmark' dug into themes of identity. Over the years, they've kept releasing albums, from 'Interkom' to 'Ring i Natten' in 2015.

Archive material and source history

Nephew formed in Aarhus in 1999 with Simon Kvamm on vocals and guitar, Kristian Riis on guitar, Søren Arnholt on bass, and Kasper Toustrup on drums. Their debut single 'Movie Klip' came out the following year. The band's 2004 album 'USADSB' brought them wider attention in Denmark, featuring the song 'Va fangool!' which became something of an anthem despite its profanity.

Their music often mixes pop hooks with lyrics that comment on social issues. Songs like 'Police Bells & Church Sirens' and '007 Is Also Gonna Die' show this tendency. They've released several albums including 'Interkom' in 2006 and 'Danmark Danmark' in 2009, which dealt with themes of national identity.

Kvamm's outspoken views have sometimes drawn criticism, and the band faced backlash in 2013 for using a racial slur during a festival performance, for which they apologized. They've worked with other artists like Danish rapper L.O.C. and American musician Conor Oberst. Their later albums include 'Hjertestarter' from 2012 and 'Ring i Natten' from 2015.
