9 o’clock Nasty – Sleepy Policeman (2022)
Once upon a time, there were three talented musicians who came together to create something special for the masses; they called themselves The Bee Gees. Skip forward a few decades and we have another trio of talented lads creating something unique (but without those high-pitched vocals thing that The Bee Gees brought us). Instead 9 o’clock Nasty brings us insanity, brashness, chaos and an all ‘round madness, but we love it. Featured on Less Than 1000 Followers, Sinusoidal Music, Edgar Allan Poets, and various playlists, 9 o’clock Nasty slithers into people’s eyes and ears across the globe. The most recent addition to their discography is ‘Sleepy Policeman’.
Stepping away from their heavier, harder, brash punk meets grunge, garage rock and anything gritty, 9 o’clock Nasty expands their musical horizons with something called “dub-punk”. An eloquent description of their melding dark dubstep with punk passion, there is a mellifluous fusion of two entirely different camps. One, the dub, is bold, banging and bound for the clubs; however, 9 o’clock Nasty winds their punk-rock wire around the sound with its crude, stinging craziness.
I’ve said this before but 9 o’clock Nasty have a way of reaching into your chest, twisting your heart, beating on your lungs and leaving you with an insane feeling of satisfaction. In previous reviews, I have described them as a vodka shot, a tequila chaser, an acid trip without the acid – and it’s all here again. The thing is this time it’s not all screaming Sex Pistols meets The Clash. This time they take commercial anthemic club-based dub and slither it through their dark, dingy and palpably grimy sound. Insatiable and indescribable, 9 o’clock Nasty is back with its signature brand of organised chaos.
