Nephew was Denmark’s biggest and most popular rock band from the middle of the 00’s to the beginning of the 10’s. On their first two successful albums, they were known for singing in a mix of Danish and English.

The band consists of frontman Simon Kvamm and Marie Højlund on vocals, Kristian Riis on guitar, Søren Arnholt on drums, Kasper Toustrup on bass, and René Thalund on keys.

The band released their debut album Swimming Time in 2000, but it did not achieve great success in either sales or reviews. The band gave it another shot with the sophomore record USADSB in 2004, which was hugely successful and established Nephew on the Danish music scene. Since followed the records: Interkom Kom Ind, Danmark/Denmark, Hjertestarter and the compilation album 1-2-3-4-5.

Five years later, Marie Højlund joined the band and they released the “I–Ring”-series, consisting of four EP’s.
