The members of [Dweeb] all attended Nexus back in 2002 - 2003. They formed the band during the year and have been recording and touring ever since. The level of their musicianship and performance is only super-seeded by their dedication to God and desire to do his will, they really are great guys! Check out the video below which is a single off their latest album 'Feels Like Dynamite'.
Marstin and the Revelators
Martin Grund attended Nexus in the 2007-2008 school year and formed a band known as
"Marshton and the Revelators." This band with its very unique sound found its way into the hearts of students and would echo through the hallways as students whistled away to "The Salmon Song." The catchy hooks are not all that makes up this quirky band, and when the listeners look into the lyrical content of these songs, they will find substance and creativity as well.
Rich Hall
This track called "Future Hope" was written and recorded by Nexus' Head of musical studies and guitar tutor Rich Hall and features ex-Nexus students on drums, bass & keys. It was recorded at Nexus as part of Rich's instrumental album entitled "Fluorescent Red".
As for the meaning for the track I guess that's up to the individual listener to make their mind up about, but when the track was finished and Rich was thinking of a name for it the title "Future Hope" seemed to accurately capture something of the feel and vibe of the music. Hope you enjoy it...
