Without much fanfare, they suddenly found themselves appearing in most of São Paulo’s underground clubs, as well as in other parts of Brazil. Within a few weeks their myspace page had thousands of listens to their home made tracks, leading to several international blogs giving them a mention (includes America’s Big Stereo). The Brazilian national press sites the trio (on portal Globo.com) as one of the ‘eight bands to watch out for in 2008’. Other mentions have come from sites such as MTV Brazil, Popload’s Lucio Ribeiro and Erika Palomino amongst others. This unexpected progress achieved during these initial few months has pushed the band to maybe take things a little more seriously. In February 2008, NRK was invited to contribute to a compilation being made by London based publication Amelia’s Magazine, who were doing a special edition on Brazil. Since then, the boys have been working on finishing their debut EP, RADICAL. Influenced by everything from punk rock to oldschool hip-hop, the EP “brings the five tracks, all recorded in Cello’s room. These include a cover of “Couldn’t Get Ahead,” by Brit band The Fall, and debut single “Flashlite Monkey.” www.myspace.com/gonrk |
