Nero were invited to make their debut in Radio 1’s Live Lounge today, and they seized the opportunity with all four hands, smashing out a fantastic band-orientated version of their new single Promises, as well as one of the best covers of the year in the form of Friendly Fires‘ comeback single Live Those Days Tonight.

Their performance of Promises is something you can expect to hear more of in the future if you attend one of their live shows, as they are looking to move over to using more traditional live instruments (Guitars, Drums etc.). It’s so good that I probably prefer it over their studio version.

Their cover of Live Those Days Tonight is also fantastic and it’s probably one of the best Live Lounge covers I have heard in a long time – it just clicks with their style of music.

Enjoy both tracks below.
