1/ "Hovering between melancholic barroom balladry and thunderous post-rock, Nikko inhabit a niche in the Brisbane music scene all of their own, a Gothic Western sound that lays the atmospherics on thick and never lets the tension slip… a force to be reckoned with." Brendan Telford, Time Off Magazine
Currently based in Brisbane, Nikko was founded in 2005 by Ryan Potter (vocals, guitar and lyrics), Jackson Briggs (guitar), Sam Whiting (bass) and Blair Westbrook (drums).
Nikko's debut album, The Warm Side (2010, Tenzenmen/FUSE) is a collection of nine songs written between 2007 and 2009. The Warm Side has received much critical acclaim since its 2010 release, with Brisbane's RAVE Magazine giving the album 4 and 1/2 stars, saying that "For a debut album, it is pretty much as close to perfect as you can get." The Warm Side also received highly positive reviews in Time Off, Scene, Mess+Noise and The Canberra Times, and single 'Wedding Song' was named RAVE’s Single of the Week.
Following the largely underground success of The Warm Side and subsequent Australian tours, the band released a live recording entitled Live at The Tote in December of last year. The release received 4 and 1/2 stars in Time Off Magazine with reviewer Scott Thompson describing it as demonstrating “One of the most accomplished bands in the genre at the height of their power.”
Nikko’s latest release, a double A-side single entitled About the Spirit/Smoke Alarms, features two new tracks taken from the band’s upcoming sophomore album, due for release later this year. These two tracks demonstrate a stylistic change in direction that showcases frontman Ryan Potter’s skills as a songwriter and lyricist, along with the band’s collective ability to craft these skills into distinctive and compelling arrangements. The double A-side single is currently available for pre-order as a limited edition 7” vinyl from http://nikko.bandcamp.com/
After months spent putting the final touches on their new album, Nikko are keen to hit the road and will embark on an east coast tour over the first weekend of September (the 1st to the 4th) in support of the singles’ release…

Break My Heart
Nikko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard the rumor
You got the boys
Wrapped around your finger
Such a sweet heart breaker
Your the game I want
Oh you can do whatever you want
It's alright with me
Why don't you break my heart
Make it hurt so bad
Come on give it you best
Nothing less
I insist I want it just like that
Why don't you break my heat
Sounds good to me
Do it over again again again
Your just what I need
Why don't you break my heart
Stare me down intimidate me
Baby please you'll never break me
Bring it on cause I can take
Your so cool the way you play it
You can do whatever you like
It's alright with me
Why don't you break my heart
Make it hurt so bad
Come on give it you best
Nothing Less
I insist I want it just like that
Why don't you break my heart
Sounds good to me
Do it over again again again
Your just what I need
Why don't you break my
Why don't you break my
Why don't you break my
Heart!
The lyrics to Nikko's song "Break My Heart" convey the desire to be hurt emotionally by a girl who is known for breaking hearts. The opening lines express that the singer has heard rumors about the girl's charming and irresistible nature which seems to make the boys go crazy for her. Despite this, he is drawn towards her, desiring to be a participant in her game of heartbreak. He invites her to break his heart and make it hurt as much as possible - insisting that she doesn't hold back in any way. He repeats this request several times throughout the song, emphasizing how much he wants to be hurt by her. The singer is essentially asking the girl to inflict emotional pain on him, as he believes this is what he needs.
The chorus of the song is a reflection of the singer's fascination with the idea of being heartbroken by this girl. He tells her that he wants her to give it her best and not hold back, acknowledging that it may hurt him badly. Surprisingly, he insists on wanting this experience and encourages her to do it over again, expressing that she is what he needs. He seems to believe that this is the only way he can connect or have any sort of romantic relationship with her.
In essence, the lyrics of the song present an unhealthy and masochistic approach to love and relationships. The singer seems to believe that experiencing emotional pain is essential for him to feel connected to someone.

I doubt many things in life,
but I do not doubt the power of love.
Love is capable of changing a life,
is able to transform a person,
is able to save the world.
Love is the great essence of life.
The beginning, the middle and the end of our existence ...
Only through love,
we are able to know each other,
we are able to know what our limits are,
and how strong we are ...
Whoever has never loved, does not know himself.
Love is the gift that God gave to men,
it's the mystery of life, it's the magic of salvation ...
Cultivate the love...
Love of neighbor, love of life,
the love for the world, the love of your heart ...
Life is empty without love,
it loses its raison d'être, it becomes meaningless.
Love is what gives life to the heart.
Long live love ... Love, love yourself ...
Show! ... An Excellent Video and Beautiful Music.
Congratulations. A Beautiful Post. Thanks! ...
A Great Sunday and a Beautiful Week ...
