Known for post punk, new wave and Spanish rhythms, the Amsterdam-based band Rex explore topics on the darker side of life. In a chaotic whirlwind of lost love, loneliness and companionship, the band release horror homage visuals to 'Dm'.

Dark ballad ‘Dm’ deals with a troublesome male calling for his lost lover. Expanding on the story, Rex say “His lover tells him that they can only be together if he chooses to cross the ‘other side’ where she will be waiting for him. Knowing that he will have to cross the river to the land of the dead, insanity starts to creep in.”

Despite sharing the same influential interests from the likes of The Bad Seeds, Lou Reed and Leonard Cohen, the bands idiosyncratic sound stems from their own musical backgrounds. Frontman, and guitarist Jonathan Rex was born with flamenco in his blood, while drummer Nout Kooij was raised as a die-hard punk, and bass player Sara Elzinga was introduced to blues music before she could walk. Viewing like a cross between the Wicker Man, Blair Witch and a psilocybin fuelled trip, the video was filmed in a nearby Amsterdam forest.

The Nearlies was formed in early 2008 in France. Combining only vocals, guitar, bass and drums, The Nearlies create an evocative musical world that transports the listener to the Ghost Rock mood, which is their first album.

The musical style of The Nearlies lies somewhere between The Shadows and Motörhead with ‘60s garage overtones.

In 1995-1996 before moving from Finland to France The Nearlies’ six stringer played a stunt guitar in Flaming Sideburns gigs and early recordings while Mr. Burns or Mr. Ski were away touring with their other bands.
