9 O’Clock Nasty deal a hefty dose of attitude on their latest release, the venomous ‘Bad Vegan’. A short, fast-paced, and electrifying piece of garage rock with an infectious groove and an unforgettable melody.
A Leicester-based 3-piece garage rock outfit, 9 O’Clock Nasty always have a knack for putting together really tight and concentrated releases. ‘Bad Vegan’ is the latest addition to their catalog, and it is a song that makes an amazing representation for the outfit and for the whole genre. From its diminutive runtime to its breakneck pacing and its skeletal and defined arrangement, ‘Bad Vegan’ is a short journey through everything that makes garage rock endure the waves of time.
The quaternity of overdriven riffs, fuzzed-out bass, punk beats, and group vocals will probably never grow old. ‘Bad Vegan’ is composed of this very simplistic arrangement. The call-and-response style of the vocals plays exceedingly well on top of the song’s shapeshifting riffs. The bass, and its intense 2-note chugs that turn into a smooth descending rampage is super simple, yet super effective, and so are the power chord guitar riffs. ‘Bad Vegan’ does not intend to break any ground, just a fun and hasty piece of flowing garage rock.
A ton of fun, ‘Bad Vegan’ is a cheeky, one-and-a-half-minute foray into the minds of an adventurous, musical, and humorous trio who know very well how to spin a really tight song.
