Chaos, the difficult Vth Album

 

Yeah baby. Out now. Buy it on CD (standard or 12" sleeve) or download or stream it.

So here we are again. Tick Tock Pulse Pulse goes the cycle. Single after single. Album after album. Sitting on the 127 Arriva bus passing through the flooded grey gloom of Crowland between Shepshed and St Margarets bus station at 6.07am. I look around and I wonder how much has changed since I wrote the release notes for This Is Crowland?

This album cost us dearly. Spit and venom, bile and blood were consumed building this monster of a record. Eleven songs each more intense than the last. It cost me a piano, sunk into the dark waters of the River Soar with barely a ripple (although it did make a big noise when it was sucked under by the water). The Marina Association were understanding, but this was not my first offence. To sink one piano in the river is the hapless accident of a vain idiot. To sink a second is generally considered poor form. So this album cost me my home. 

Late one night in November, Pete had to once again submit to the curse of the Mountsorrel Quarrymen. The hours of labour to edit the finest details of the drum tracks on some song that was cast aside and deleted before it could pass from the digital to the analogue took him beyond endurance. The only way he could find the strength to carry on was to once again take the knee and kiss the stone. He has that haunted look now. He knows he can only break those promises once or twice more, because they will remember. Come for him.

Sydd? Indestructible and indefatigable was found sobbing. Sat by the church doors. Wrapped in tinsel and stinking of dry, exotic cheeses that are not normally on sale in the United Kingdom. At least not anymore. Yes we all gave up something. Sacrificed. For you.

Chaos is a musical essay of sorts. This Is Crowland was an ironic stab at the stupidity of the modern world, but there was always a certain safe distance. We were wrong. There is no distance. Stupid has come to consume us and carry us away. Culture War was a call to action, recognition that politics is no longer the art of controlling your environment (Thompson, H 1973) but has become the drive to change everyone else’s environment whether they like it or not. Chaos is the next step. Third of the trinity. If there is a culture war (and there is) and if we no longer have time and space to deal with stupid, then our final refuge, as individuals, as loving groups of like minded humans, as a civilisation, as a species, is chaos itself. Make it. Embrace it. Prepare for it. Or write an album about it.

Many years ago stupid was the force of law and order and we were the festive flames of chaos, brothers and sisters. Now we are tied to the law and rights and wrongs and stupid has learned to unleash madness and violence upon us. People, we must embrace the chaos again. Reclaim it. Only then can we slip through the cracks and reignite something better. Ask not for whom the pendulum swings, for it swings directly at you. Dodge and dive or loiter and die.

One final thought. Yes, punk is dead. Move on. You’re welcome.

Beast

 

"But who is your beast?”

Fuelled by intimacy and regret BEAST, is the new single by 9 o’clock Nasty. We lay a trail of love, connection and betrayal behind us as we walk the path of life. We drop our guard to find happiness. It drives us. What is a life if we cannot share who we are? None of us found love without pain, made decisions without making mistakes. BEAST may reveal a different side to 9 o’clock Nasty. More melodic. More contemplative and reflective. But then the drums kick in and the acid oozes to the surface. This somewhat troubling parable an acid bath punk-beats lift off. A whole meaning to dance until you drop.

“This isn’t heartbreak as soft-focus nostalgia; it’s heartbreak as self-reckoning.” — @falcodice

“Beast radiates an electrifying intensity, brimming with raw fury and deep-seated pain.” — @jpgchief

“Leicester’s self-proclaimed ‘aristocrats of punk’ return with ‘BEAST,’ a piano-driven slow burn that proves snarl and sensitivity aren’t mutually exclusive.” — @falcodice

“The drum performance in ‘Beast’ absolutely obliterates everything we’ve heard before.” — @jpgchief

“The tension between beauty and abrasion is where ‘BEAST’ thrives.” — @falcodice

“‘Beast’ is a single that sounds quintessentially 9 O’Clock Nasty, but with a fresh, stripped-down feel that makes all the vocal mayhem even more potent and exciting.” — @rockeramag

“The beat is still massive and cavernous … the mix is edgy and the vocal deliveries are as charismatic as ever.” — @rockeramag

“What begins as introspection mutates into something more volatile.” — @falcodice

“It’s unrelenting in every aspect… leaving no room for the timid.” — @jpgchief

“Rowdy, loud, shameless, and dripping with character … it never loses touch with what makes the group’s music scratch the itch with their lovers.” — @rockeramag

“There’s a psychedelic undercurrent running through the track that sets it apart.” — @falcodice

“‘Beast’ is still simple in composition, hooligan-ish, and is home to the same feral yelps from the group’s pair of frontmen.” — @rockeramag

“When it ends, it leaves a silence that feels intentional, almost cinematic.” — @falcodice

“We demand more drums like this — give us that relentless energy!” — @jpgchief

“A melodic, almost reflective piano line lays the groundwork, giving the impression of confession rather than confrontation.” — @falcodice

“If Chaos promises a collection of sharp, beat-driven anthems, ‘BEAST’ suggests the album will also explore the cracks beneath the swagger.” — @falcodice

Lee Iococca

"Trigger Happy Capitalism”

Playing the odds to win? Let us introduce you to LEE IOCOCCA. Place your bets in the post-capitalist world. Choose a hero. We can suggest one. Our man Lee measured once and cut many times. The Ford Pinto was a deathtrap But the cost of fixing it was greater than the cost of compensating victims. Profit, Loss Death and Chaos. Set all that to a killer beat and you’ve got our new single. You don’t need to be a stone-cold-killer to be truly dangerous. It’s all about the shareholder value baby. Lee Iococca gives this somewhat troubling parable an acid bath punk-beats lift off. A whole meaning to dance until you drop.

“I’m not entirely convinced that Lee Iococca was a real human being rather than a corporate superhero in disguise…” — @jpgchief

“You don’t need to be a stone-cold-killer to be truly dangerous. It’s all about the shareholder-value baby.” — @jpgchief

“The track weaponizes history, using the Ford Pinto scandal as a symbol of post-capitalist cynicism where profit calculations outweigh human lives.” — @lelahmetal

“This seventh single from the upcoming album Chaos is a snarling, acid-soaked punk anthem that turns corporate amorality into something you can move your body to and feel uneasy about while doing so.” — @lelahmetal

“It’s as bold as a hip-hop beat and as spicy as your aunt’s secret chili recipe—it’s ‘Lee Iococca!’” — @jpgchief

Heavy

         

"It's heavy, when I say it's heavy"

When the pendulum swings. When Crowland shatters and falls. When the end comes. All the money won't decide. Rest assured, when you see us walking down the street, we will be walking at ya. It is protest or insurrection? Things are getting HEAVY. You see the crowd, it could get Nasty any minute. People are tired. People are angry. Everyone is talking. Things are getting labelled. Intention and tension. Pulse kick. Pulse kick. Dance can be part of the revolution. Kissing can be an act of rebellion. We all see the world through our own coloured lenses. Finding meaning.

Sonic

       

"When you fly with the gulls, there's gonna be trouble”

Pulse kick. Pulse kick. Pulse kick. The sound of SONIC. Normal people. They leave their house every morning and turn in the same direction. They follow the same footsteps. This is the cautionary tale of the human that turned in the other direction and ran away with the wolves. Humdrum life can never prepare you to soar with the gulls, screeching over the concrete of the numb city. The freedom of going feral carries a heavy price. SONIC is the new single by 9 o’clock Nasty. Sonic is the 9 o’clock Nasty sound stripped right down. Skin peeled. Blood washed away so you can see each sinew and tendon stretch and shift. Sometimes the silence makes the biggest sound. Because those kippers aren’t going to dig themselves.

“Not an adorable blue hedgehog — a brutal sonic assault that shatters illusion.” — @jpgchief

“This is punk minimalism: no fat, no filler; just pulse, tension, attitude, and a feral sense of freedom.” — @thisaktmusic

“Amid the noise, there’s a space — a void where silence becomes almost spiritual.” — @extravafrench

“A drum-heavy beast that shows no mercy for the weak.” — @jpgchief

Game Fit

        

"I'm god's gift to women, a wonder to behold”

You gotta be ready. Poised for relentless battle. Fight or flight. Are you GAME FIT?

The world is a powder keg. People are getting irritable. Is it really just a matter of time? Maybe not, but it’s fun to pretend that it’s all going down and you are the one that is ready. Ready for 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food. Ready.

But as the clock ticks, how can you remain a good human?

GAME FIT is the September 2025 single by 9 o’clock Nasty.

A brutally simple beat. Air and violence. Violence and air. Feel the speakers flex and roar. The tune to get ready for the moment of truth. Get your go bag ready.

Much love to the people that have taken time to listen to our stuff and write about it. Here are some quotes from the first three

“This track hits harder than a toddler on a sugar high and has a groove so simple it could be mistaken for a public service announcement.” @jpgchief

“Leicester’s most unpredictable trio, 9 o’clock Nasty, is back with a new single, Game Fit, a record as jarring as it is borderline invigorating.” @audiokaradiexpress

“Game Fit is a survival game in the middle of a world on the verge of collapse, tinged with a dystopian and post-apocalyptic air.” @estaban_soundloop

“‘Game Fit’ is a song for those with a farsighted perspective—the ones who’ve been waiting for judgment day since the beginning.” @jpgchief

“The percussion hits like fists smacking against concrete, while jagged guitar lines stalk around the sparse backbeat creating a severe and tense moment.” @audiokaradiexpress

“The song is almost like an anthem of resistance: hyperbolic, ironic, performative, provocative, and gloomy.” @estaban_soundloop

“A song that screams: ‘I’m ready, bring it on!’, knowing that it will turn out victorious.” @jpgchief

“Rebellion is not meant to be comfortable; it is meant to hurt.” @audiokaradiexpress

“In verses like ‘You laugh before you’re digitalized’ there is criticism of technological dehumanization.” @estaban_soundloop

“A brutally simple beat. Air and violence. Violence and air. Feel the speakers flex and roar.” @jpgchief

“Game Fit serves as yet another reminder that 9 o’clock Nasty are not here to follow trends. Instead, they are here to break down doors, send people packing, and soundtrack the end times with noise, wit, and attitude.” @audiokaradiexpress

“In this crossing of satire, paranoia, and black humor, the result turns contemporary anxiety into a critical spectacle.” @estaban_soundloop

Love In The Circle

       

"That's not real work at all!”

The world get crowded. Love gets crushed. How can you find Love in the circle of filth?

A song for late night limousines, awkward dinner parties and arguments about what actually is productivity. The story about the dinner party and the lustful boyfriend thinking sharing hardcore porn will get him an orgy is real. But that’s only one example.  As the rules change, how can you remain horny yet righteous?

Infatuation. Desire. Poor judgment. All set to a smooth, slithering beat and bass that oozes from your skin and dries in the chill of the night.
