Coming from the industrial town of Hartlepool in the UK, All The Nines is a five-piece post hardcore outfit, featuring singer Steven Hart, guitarists Andrew Oliver and Mark Folland, bassist Tom Burke and drummer Dan Athey. Together, they’ve steadily made a name for themselves in the underground music scene, winning over alternative rock fans in the UK and beyond.
Drawing influence from genre-defining acts like The Mars Volta, Fugazi and These Arms Are Snakes, All The Nines have spent over a decade developing a sound that’s as intricate as it is unpredictable. Originally formed back in 2013 from the remnants of various musical endeavours, the band initially came together with no grand ambitions beyond making noise and enjoying the creative process.
This laid-back approach allowed them to experiment and refine their sound without the pressure of external expectations. After years of crafting their unique blend of complex rhythms and angular riffs, All The Nines eventually took their music out of the rehearsal space and into the studio, resulting in their 2019 debut album Love Me, I’m Evil, released via Serial Bowl Records. The album was well-received and the band celebrated its release with a high octane launch party at Hartlepool Town Hall Theatre. However, like many artists, their momentum was abruptly halted by the global pandemic, forcing them to put their plans for touring and promotion on hold.
Once the world began to emerge from the shadow of lockdown, All The Nines wasted no time regrouping and returning to their creative roots. They set to work on new material, recording, mixing and mastering a forthcoming three-track EP entirely on their own with DIY recording sessions in their studio in Hartlepool, their practice room and even their homes.
Offering the first taste of the upcoming EP is the single “The Yodeller,” a track that distils everything that makes All The Nines stand out in the crowded landscape of post hardcore music. True to the band’s style, “The Yodeller” is a twisting, turning journey through complex musical landscapes, filled with unexpected shifts and sonic surprises.
Kicked off by stuttered riffs riding the strike of drums, complex rhythms collide as the song erupts before injecting a psychedelic, jazz-inflected vibe as the vocals enter. Crafting an enthralling musical adventure that builds to raucous breakdowns and belted vocals, “The Yodeller” marks a spectacular return to sharing original material while simultaneously building the hype for the band’s upcoming EP release, set to arrive next month.
