The Nameless Girl / Press

“The Nameless Girl is a Pop/Rock outfit who was founded in 2011 by Jemma Crook and Samuel J Booth. They have recently finished their debut album 'Bipolar', available on iTunes, Spotify and Amazon. And it was a real honer to have them headlining Hellfire. The beautiful jemma was gorgeous in her stage presence and you could see how much passion she had inside when she began to sing. A very uplifting melodic sound was generated and it was very much captivating to the crowd, with musical influences such as Muse, Suede, Amy Winehouse, Bjork, Queen, These guys had a unique sound with a very distinctive touch made by the lead singer jemma crook with her stunning singing voice. We at Gobo was happy to have meet the nameless girl and we hope we shall be seeing more of these guys in the near future. Please keep an eye on the Hellfire website to see a full review of all the nights events!.”

“Last up on the night were a band that I have loved listening to since I first stumbled across them on my Facebook travels, they are called The Nameless Girl, and we were absolutely honored to bring them to Glasgow on a Hellfire bill. All eyes are on Lead singer Jemma as she takes to the stage in tiny shorts possibly unsuitable for the Scottish climate, and who could blame those eyes for staring? Good looks aren't what sets her above and beyond other pop rock acts on the circuit and garnered her a legion of loyal online fans though, I'm not saying the good looks didn't help, but it's that remarkably powerful and soaring voice that sets her apart from the masses, as she casually skirts through one end of the vocal range to the other like a less crazy (though just as entertaining) Bjork. We're reminded of obvious similarities with bands such as Florence And The Machine but for all out entertainment and a stage presence that will blow you away.”

“Heading back towards the main stage, The Nameless Girl appeared from out of nowhere – sounding like The Sucker Punch Soundtrack fighting Muse before calling it a day and buying each other drinks. It was rather surreal, with the use of synths and with front woman Jemma giving an exceptional vocal performance – 4/5”

“Tonight's KLFM Live Session was probably my favourite one that I have ever been to. I don't have a bad word to say about any of the acts. Sam from 'Movements' did a cover of 'The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris' which managed to make all of my arm hairs stand on end. The Birks managed to keep me gripped with their up-beat acoustic tracks and banter with the locals. Only Young had everyone up and dancing to their ska-esk takes of classic anthems. My highlight of the night goes to The Nameless Girl. I fear that I had my mouth wide open from start to finish, during their set. The bands very professional live sound is hard to put it a box; with synths layered over their guitars, they had a thick and almost Electro sound with piercingly beautiful female vocals and a mixture of straight and complex Kick, Hi-hat and Snare patterns that hit the audience solidly like a bat in the chest. Overall this is a KLFM Live Session gig that is going to be hard to top. I can't wait to get home and listen!”

“Now, by that title you’d expect this to be some kind of crazy post about a girl. Well, you’d nearly be correct I suppose. I recently went to The Borderline in London to see Lauren Aquilina support Alexa Goddard. Also supporting were Lewis Watson and The Nameless Girl. All the acts were great on the night, but none of them (Apart from Lauren) I had never heard of before. I was meant to look into them before hand but decided not to (got lazy in other words) and left it for the night. The Nameless Girl perked my ears up straight away by being the only act on that performed as a band. Though I’d love to hear their songs acoustically one day, too. They are a pop/rock band from Devon and Surrey who the vocalist and songwriter of the band is named Jemma Crook, who was a pleasure to meet (as were the rest of the band, too).”

“I’d like to draw your attention to The Nameless Girl, who will probably be a household name within the year provided she gets the right kind of push. Jemma Crook, the lead singer of this emotionally driven “bi-polar pop rock monster”, has a stunningly unique voice. Eclectic, to be sure, yet extremely catchy and something truly special. There is both knowingness and innocence in the music and they are simultaneous. I normally don’t gravitate towards pop music unless it really inspires me, and I’ve listened to “Bright Light” four times in a row here. That should tell you something. Like a mixture of Adele, Dirty Projectors, Florence & The Machine, and Bjork infused with more mainstream pop influences, her back up vocals seem to dance around her lead, and that’s what makes her style addictive. The band is a 5-piece, and they all do a fantastic job of playing “for the song” – lots of subtle synth work and dynamic shifts uncharacteristic of a young act like this. ”

“Hi The Nameless Girl! Thanks for visiting, checked your page, listened to the first tune and was in for the duration (twice!); kudos on your inspired song crafting, great playing and sublime vocals…to my ears I hear an echo of golden-age (Foxtrot-Nursery Crymes) Genesis in the lush guitars, artful arranging and general imaginativeness of your music but you’re definitely on your own brilliant orbit, really great sounds you’re brewing up! will be visiting again, all the best til then, ”
