Based in Brisbane, Australia, Nikko was founded in 2005 by Ryan Potter (vocals, guitar and lyrics), Jackson Briggs (guitar), Sam Whiting (bass) and Blair Westbrook (drums). In 2008, Daniel Kassulke joined the band. Nikko’s early repertoire involved original material mixed with covers of songs by The Modern Lovers, The Velvet Underground and The Stooges. Since then, Nikko have refined their sound, eschewing the pop-based conventions of their earlier material in favour of a more complex approach to songwriting. Keen to integrate the ideas and influences that drive each member, Nikko’s sound encompasses vast, guitar-driven harmonies, beautiful melodies and brutal noise.
