Hailing from Leicester in the UK, 9 o’clock Nasty have steadily been staking their claim as an exciting alternative rock outfit. With their own unique style built on gritty guitar work, grooving rhythms, flashes of synths and sharp lyricism, they craft an edgy sound of musical intensity that’s seen them connect with fans across the UK and beyond.
Since their studio debut in 2021 with the EP Dank, the band has shared multiple singles, EPs and full-length records that defy that each add a piece to the puzzle of the 9 o’clock Nasty universe. It’s guitar-driven rock music but filtered through a hazy lens of sonic humour and bold concepts, resulting in something entirely new.
Enjoying a prolific 2023 marked by multiple releases and the experimental single “Unkle Natur,” 9 o’clock Nasty has continued to entertain while exploring new sides to their sonic output. This year they’re showing now signs of slowing down, already releasing three new singles and bringing us their latest effort with the brand new track titled “Dead Pilot.”
The fourth single lifted from their upcoming third full-length record titled This Is Crowland, with their new single the band offers a twisted synth rock outing cut with the band’s trademark sardonic lyrical writing. Opened by the stuttered buzz of a guitar riff, the bouncy drum beat raises the tension before the song launches into an uptempo tirade of punchy rhythms, thumping bass lines and swaggering vocal leads.
Peppered with piquant key tones, the fuzzy arrangement and driving energy is led by the belted vocals while brief moments of bluesy half-time bursts slice the journey up into dynamic doses. It’s a dirty rock stomper that showcases what 9 o’clock Nasty does best; throw down a memorable slice of highly original rock-focused music with jocular lyricism.
Once again pairing abstract writing with catchy sonic ideas, “Dead Pilot” is another slick display of this band’s wildly unique and thoroughly engaging sound. With their upcoming record set to drop later this year, 9 o’clock Nasty continue their charge of delivering exciting rock music pulled from entirely new musical explorations.
