Nixer release new single Freedom
Nixer kickstart an exciting string of releases with their new single Freedom - an unflinching political statement.
Written and co-produced by Drogheda native Seán Keenan and Colin Moir in their Southeast London studio, the track marks a shift in the Nixer sound, leaning into a darker, more abrasive edge that has always simmered beneath their upbeat synth-punk aesthetic. It’s a song that confronts the current political climate head-on, explicitly addressing the genocide in Palestine while voicing a stark, almost desperate call for “peace in the Middle East.” Although only recently written in January 2026, its themes feel even more urgent now, as the world continues to tilt into deeper unrest.
