Nephew is a Danish rock band formed in 1996. Backed by a sound that is clearly influenced by Music/DepecheMode and Music/{{Kraftwerk}}, their lyrics are a mix of Danish and English, and often sound like WordSaladLyrics to the casual listener, although closer inspection reveals that they deal with heavy emotional subjects, and have subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) political messages hidden in them, most notably in their third album ''Danmark[=/=]Denmark''.

Their frontman, Simon Kvamm, is probably responsible for their initial rise to fame, as his day-job as a comedian had him appear in various popular satirical shows, chief among these ''Drengene fra Angora'', which was aired around the release of the band's second album, ''USADSB''.

!!Tropes
* AlbumTitleDrop: In the song "Hospital" for the album ''Interkom Kom Ind.''
%%* AlternativeRock: Musically, somewhere between this and ElectronicMusic.
%%* AudienceParticipationSong: "Worst/Best Case Scenario."
* CallBack: "Gå Med Dig" features the lyric "En wannabe [[Series/MadMen Don Draper]]", a call-back to ''USADSB''[='s=] "En Wannabe [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]]".
* {{Crossover}}:
** "Alllein, Alene" with Music/Polarkreis18.
** "The Way I Are" with Music/{{Timbaland}}.
* FootballFightSong: "The Danish Way To Rock," which goes a step further than the normal fight song and actually features ''backup vocals by the entire Danish national soccer team!''
%%** Which is not that uncommon in Denmark.
%%* IAmTheBand: Simon has shades of this at times, but it seems to be mostly tongue-in-cheek.
%%* MurderBallad: Several, most notably "Blå & Black."
* ObsessionSong: "Movie Klip," which is a song about a man who stalks his ex-girlfriend, going so far as following her to Paris and (it's implied) filming her with her new boyfriend.
* ShoutOut:
%%** Quite a few to Music/DepecheMode. It is not unusual for their song "Movie Klip" to turn into "Personal Jesus" during live performances.
** "Va Fangool!" has the narrator out drinking with [[Series/TheSopranos Tony Soprano]] at a bar, and asking him how being "life's waste collector" is working out for him.
* SopranoAndGravel: Inverted in the song "Blå & Black," where the female singer has a very clear example of the PerishingAltRockVoice, compared to Simon's slightly higher and more emotional singing.
* StudioChatter: At the end of "Sway", a member of the band remarks that it was a "great take".
