At last, the English post-punk legends, 9 o’clock Nasty, have revealed the release date for their latest album, This Is Crowland. Be sure to mark your calendar for Saturday, February 22nd, when the album drops. In the meantime, allow me to share more details about it below.
Last year, we were lucky and thankful to the band, 9 o’clock Nasty selecting us among their media outlets to feature many of their album tracks, including; Crowland, Kid Blast, Bad Vegan, The Wrong Guy, Hot Disco Shit, among many others that can be found here.
Every track brings its own unique flavour, yet the band exhibits a remarkable diversity and fusion of musical styles, encompassing post-punk, alternative, glam, gothic techno, hip-hop, trance, and many other genres. This rich variety highlights the creativity and experience of the members of 9 o’clock Nasty.
As you listen to the album, you’ll find it very enjoyable. Its well-crafted structure, strong vocals, melodic riffs, and exceptional mixing and mastering create an iconic experience. Honestly, I haven’t encountered a band that demonstrates such commitment. As the band stated, “The album is a product of a year’s work. 8760 hours.”
Listening to the album was somewhat challenging for me, as I had already heard many of its singles beforehand. This presented one of my toughest challenges yet, as I genuinely doubt any listener could pinpoint a negative track; each one showcases its own unique essence. Typically, when reviewing albums, I prefer not to discuss each track individually, allowing readers the freedom to explore them on their own and form their own impressions. However, I must admit that I appreciated how each track offers its own lyrical theme, along with a remarkable mastery of delivery.
Revel in the chaos, embrace the absurdity, and let the music be your rallying cry. Each track on “This Is Crowland” is a testament to resilience and defiance, a sonic journey through the labyrinth of modern existence. The album captures the essence of rebellion with its eclectic mix of sounds, challenging listeners to question the status quo while providing a soundtrack for these tumultuous times.
With this album, 9 o’clock Nasty invites you to join them in their artistic protest, to dance on the ashes of what was and to build anew from the rubble. It’s an invitation to find solace in shared experiences and to lift each other up through the power of music. So, turn up the volume, let the music wash over you, and remember that in the darkest hours, creativity and camaraderie can light the way forward.
“Party, with the people you trust.” – 9 o’clock Nasty
