1). Nixon, from Halmstad, Sweden, is a project of Roger Gunnarsson (Free Loan Investments, The Garlands, Cloetta Paris...), and perhaps the one he is best known for. Gunnarsson began recording songs as Nixon with his cousin when he was a child in the mid 1980s. Some time later in the mid 1990s, he and friend Henrik PĂĽhle recorded a Nixon demo which caught the attention of a few labels in their native Sweden and North America. Following a few EP releases, Nixon made their full-length debut with Only Ugly People Smoke in 2000, which also featured vocal and songwriting contributions from Anna Issakson. Gunnarsson continued to make Nixon records, now mostly alone, into the 21st century. A second full-length appeared in 2002 entitled November 1985 but after the Snow Day EP the following year, the project went on an unoffical hiatus and Gunnarsson continued to work with his other bands. In 2011, a new Nixon compilation of previously released material entitled Anorak Christmas came out on Anorak Records of France. The sleevenotes of this release announced that there would be a Nixon 7" EP of brand new recordings released on Cloudberry Records. This record eventually surfaced in late 2012 and is entitled This Town.
2). Nixon is a rock band formed in Almeria, Spain, by longtime friends in 2010. Previously known as Scaramusa, the band currently consists of Alex (lead vocals, guitar) Daniel Girona (lead guitar), Pedro Gil (drums, percussion, synthesizers), Juanmi (guitars, synthesizers), and Sergio (bass, synthesizers and backing vocals).
The quintet has toured widely throughout Spain supporting acts such as Second, Ninos Mutantes and Full. Following a two-year tour, the band released in 2006 it's full-length studio album titled El Ultimo Fuego after a successful crowdfunding campaign. This record made the band earn an unique sound by the use of synthesizers and analog drum machines.
They received attention due to their appearance in Los Conciertos de Radio3, reaching a huge audience with their performance at the 20th anniversary of Sonorama Ribera festival, Weekend Beach or Granada Sound among many others.
Alongside their critical acclaim and promising future, Nixon has found its place as an emerging act necessary in the Spanish music scene. Their brand of dark indie rock is commonly compared to the sound of bands such as Depeche Mode, Foals and U2.

In Nixon's song "What U Hear," the lyrics explore themes of betrayal, disappointment, and resilience. The artist expresses his frustration with those who claimed to be loyal and supportive but ultimately let him down. He reflects on the people who never had much themselves and didn't strive for success, instead being prone to throwing fits and lacking ambition. Nixon thought that one person, in particular, was trustworthy, the "man" who suddenly switched on his friends. The repetition of "Couldn't hear what you saying" signifies the artist's inability to listen to the empty words and false promises of these unreliable individuals.
The lyrics also touch upon Nixon's personal journey and growth. He speaks of his humble beginnings, cleaning dishes and facing criticism for his vision. Despite the obstacles, he persevered and rose above the negativity. Nixon portrays himself as someone with a deep soul, comparing it to the sensation of being high on weed or the feeling of being at a party. He asserts his resilience and determination to succeed, vowing to feed the village and eventually become a symbol of inspiration.
Overall, "What U Hear" delves into the emotions of disappointment and betrayal experienced by Nixon. It also showcases his determination to overcome adversity and rise above the negativity surrounding him.

I always wondered why I was conditioned to dislike Nixon by the media. Things are starting to make sense.
@androidplattanthelipp5001
So I´m not alone then, good to hear
@DickHeckingbottom
You should check his interview on Israel lobby in US and everything will start making sense even more. Apparently they don't take no as an answer easily.
@seanehz
you may want to look into what Adolf Hitler had to say about them. See if things still ring true in the west today. Keep an open mind.
@appleberryflurb
The more I learn about this man, the more I respect him.
@Hassan-zw9tb
the way he said "or rape" like it was just an afterthought lol, interracial baby much worse than rape according to him
@warlordofbritannia
Not âlike an afterthought,â it was an afterthought đ
@Hassan-zw9tb
@WarlordofBritannia true
@mustaffa1611
because a death sentence for a baby is the righteous punishment for rape.
@neepgang4091
@mustaffa1611Â children should not be forced to bear children. On a biological level, neither is likely to survive
