With its dangerous riffs and threatening dissonances, 9 O’Clock Nasty return to the spotlight with an absolute banger. ‘Playboy Driver’ is as addictive as everything that has dropped so far from the inventive and rowdy outfit.
Based in Leicester, 9 O’Clock Nasty are a 3-piece alternative outfit who are far less serious than what first appears. Noisy, brash, and seemingly aggressive, 9 O’Clock Nasty are a bold bunch not scared of raising some hell, and they readily do with each of their explosive and charismatic pieces. Usually fun and nonchalant, with an obviously edgy character that effortlessly bubbles to the surface, giving their music a threatening color that could not be further removed from the blokes’ cheerful and goofy personalities.
On ‘Playboy Driver’, one of the outfit’s most memorable cuts to date, the trio opens up with a pair of juicy riffs and an earth-shaking groove that soon gets amplified by metallic and addictive percussion hits. The vocals are -in pure 9 O’Clock Nasty fashion- rowdy, loud, dangerous, and mostly unkempt. A terrific blend of aggression, intensity, and the most lighthearted and laid-back personality, with distinct and very loud character.
‘Playboy Driver’ made me realize I missed new drops from the Leicester trio, and for that alone, it is an immediate winner in my book.
