9 o’clock Nasty kicks off the year 2023 with an energetic single “Too Cool” set to be released on the 7th of January.
‘9 o’clock Nasty’ is a post-punk/indie rock trio from Leicester, England, with Pete Brock on guitar, keyboard, and vocals, Ted Pepper on bass and vocals, and Sydd Spudd on drums and vocals.
The band pushes the boundaries with a total banger bringing the spirit of rock to the listener’s ears with sprinkles of punk all over it. While the song takes on a sarcastic lyrical theme, it was definitely fascinating how the song starts off with a literal drum roll to introduce the catchy guitar riff that backbones the whole song. The drum line in the song is groovy with fills marking every transition in the song. In addition the bass line is simple and melodic, maintaining a rhythm and keeping the listener interested. The verses are driven by a shouting duet from Pete and Ted fuelling the energetic vibe of the song, while the chorus takes a sing-along approach with a full-on punk rock groove. Before the last chorus Pete takes the spotlight with a melodic guitar solo derived from the main riff.
