Denmark (1996 – present)
Nephew is a band from Denmark that plays English and Danish melodic rock with synth influences. Formed in 1996, they have released four studio albums: Swimming Time (2000), USADSB (2004), Interkom Kom Ind (2006) and one live album (and DVD): 07.07.07 (2007). Their fourth studio album, Danmark Denmark, was released on June 5th, 2009.
Some of the big hits of Nephew have been Movie Klip (USADSB), En Wannabe Darth Wader (USADSB) (an English version of this song has also been released, called A Wannabe Darth Vader)… , Superliga (USADSB), Igen & Igen & (Interkom…), Science Fiction og Familien (Interkom…), Mexico Ligger I Spanien (Interkom…), Hospital ft. LOC (07.07.07) and recently, the first single from “Danmark Denmark”, 007 Is Also Gonna Die.
Since the release of USADSB, by many considered their breakthrough album, the band has been floating in succes, being awarded to a high number of Danish Music Awards in both 2005 and 2007. Before the release of USADSB, the band was almost unknown, and they’ve once said that they had to put chips on front of the stage to lure people closer. One of the reasons for the USADSB album’s success might be lead vocalist Simon Kvamm’s participation in the popular Danish sitcom “Drengene fra Angora”.
The very well-known producer Timbaland, who among others has produced Justin Timberlake’s “FutureSex/LoveSounds and Nelly Furtado’s “Loose”, will help Nephew produce their fourth studio-album.

We recently interviewed Simon, who had some really interesting thoughts on the meanings behind their songs and aspirations for American conquest: http://www.songfacts.com/int/2009/07/simon-kvamm-of-nephew.html

The new album is fantastic! I love Danmark Man Mark and how it uses older Danish songs to make a statement about the current state of Denmark.
