NIEVES are a four-piece from Glasgow, Scotland. Originally formed as a duo (Brendan Dafters [vocals & acoustic guitar] and Herre de Leur [piano]), the first self- titled EP was released in 2014. Following the highly acclaimed self-titled release, the band grew to develop their sound with the addition of Martin Murray (guitar) and Ross Forsyth (drums) in the autumn of 2014.
As a four-piece, the band's second head line show sold out the renowned King Tuts Wah Wah Hut in their hometown of Glasgow in January 2015. The band recorded their MATRIARCH EP in March 2015 and followed this up with their debut Scottish tour and festival appearances.
In 2016 a collaboration between Nieves & Fighting Swans Records resulted in the bands first official vinyl release called NIEVES.
In 2018 NIEVES release their first full album entitled Exist & Expire on CD - another collaboration is in the pipeline to release Exist & Expire on the vinyl format with Fighting Swans Records.
