9 o’clock Nasty is a genre-defying punk trio from Leicester, England, renowned for their audacious sound and sharp wit. Comprising Pete Brock (guitar, vocals), Ted Pepper (bass, vocals), and Sydd Spudd (drums), the band has carved a niche in the UK’s underground scene with their eclectic musical style.
In a world that feels like everything is on the edge, where people are split into sides and tension is rising every day, 9 O CLOCK Nasty have released a song that couldn’t have come at a better time. This latest single Peacekeeper grabs you by the collar and demands you listen. It’s got something to say to you; loud, smart and exciting.
“You can experiment all you like but eventually you have to go back to the garage”
This one sentence sums up the feel of Peacemaker. It’s an old school rock with a modern twist. Beyond entertainment, it’s music that is on a mission.
Peacekeeper is a song with a strong message about how divided the world has become, how people pick a side and how it sometimes feels like we are getting ready for war. The lyric passes a message of societal division and a quiet militarization of everyday life through lines like “Every breathe you take, Breathe in the hate. Choke on it. Break free” all summarizing the toxic environment in this modern day. The song lends a voice as a form of protest and a wakeup call and it doesn’t matter whether you’re trying to make sense of the Chaos or not, it’s a perfect song to listen to.
9 O Clock Nasty play by their own rules and this track is proof that they’re only getting better. The blend of Punk, rock and alternative all tied together with modern production keeps the music sharp and clear. There’s a lot of distortion but it’s carefully balanced, so the song doesn’t lose it’s melody. Beneath the guitar, the bass brings a deep, gritty groove that holds every piece together and it’s just the right amount of Choas.
The unmistakable vocal from the band is unmatched. The lead voice is full of attitude and the backing vocals bring in a chant like authentic feel that makes you want to shout along. Catchy, raw and memorable.
