“““The track is a trip to the past, with a modern twist and sense of humor. Its Garage Rock sounds make it perfect for a mystery movie, a ride through the city at night, or simply annoying your neighbors at 5 am. The Nasty doing what they do best… making fun of whoever/whatever they want, shedding a light on post-modernism bullshit, and exposing the truth about your aunt’s tale of having sex with George Bush back in college.” @jpgchief @madzen

“An enticing opening greets the listener and instantly demands our attention. We adore the groove that soon establishes itself and sets the scene for what will come. As the charismatic vocals drop, the lyrics ring out and draw the listener in. In addition, the backing instrumentation is filled with texture….” @fvmusicblog

“Both ironic & mysterious, transporting me back to the era of 80’s video games” @edgarallanpoets

“By the time the chorus hits, with its catchy hooks and impressive vocal performances, you'll find yourself singing along, dancing in your seat, and fully surrendering to the anthemic magic that 9 O'Clock Nasty conjures up with minimal effort and maximum joy.” @saiidzedan

“The introduction with hammond organ at tearing levels, is duly “attacked” by the nerve-wracking duel between the irony-laden vocals and the powerful and vibrant instrumental that dives into garage instances! As usual, the cadence breaks always give rise to highly seductive atmospheric panoramas, “abducting” us into an unprecedented sensorial journey.” @musicforall

“This new track has an initial soundscape that transports you back to the 70's, with its experimental style rock and compelling drum beats, reminiscent of bands like The Doors. The track appears to be an exploration into the past with a twist of modernism as they divulge through their lyrics individuals who seem to be compulsive liars, extensively elaborating their stories and the dubious nature they convey.” Ciara at @musicistoblame

All of 9 o’clock Nasty’s songs put a smile on my face, but ‘Savage Mechanic’ is one with a sneaky grin. … ‘Savage Mechanic’ jumps from the 80s track to a contemporary garage rock with indie-rock stylings and punk brashness. I’m just generalising here genre-wise because, seriously, who knows what to expect from the inimitable 9 o’clock Nasty? “Nicole Mendes at @theothersidereviews

“a composition that feels like a roller coaster that will take you to experience a new musical world that will break your boredom of the moment” @endsessions

“This is where the dark and hazy scaffolding of the track bursts like an exploding oil rig. Some muffled words in German add to the infernal feeling of the song’s finale. And in the end, you only know two things: you want to experience this sonic hellride over and over again, and you need to talk to your favourite Savage Mechanic again.” @mangowavereviews

“Savage Mechanic is a ringing delight of joyous rhythm, all executed with the taunting nosh of a riff that promises to be the theme song of your dream.” Nishant at @sinusoidal.music

“Crispy, distorted vocals accompany the post-punk instrumentation… “Savage Mechanic,” is a raging rock hit and the perfect addition to any indie playlist.” @senocularmedia

“This piece is a perfect mix between past and present. The Garage Rock sounds will remind you of the great hours of rock of the 70s, while modern production brings a touch of freshness and modernity.” @iggymagazine 

“Their classic style of maximising whimsy and goofiness while still having coherent, experimental musical structures is on full display here” @lostinthemanor

“With “Savage Mechanic,” 9 o’clock Nasty showcases their prowess for crafting a slick rock n’ roll soundscape that immediately grabs the listener’s attention. The track bursts to life with a grooving beat and an organ riff that sets the tone for what’s to come. The vocals kick in, exuding a captivating blend of swagger and intensity, perfectly complementing the pulsing bassline that underpins the entire composition.” @plasticmagazine

“another slice of UK underbelly… Inspiration can come from many places. In the case of Savage Mechanic it’s from the exaggerated stories of those you might happen across in your everyday life. The track starts in dramatic style with church organ and a grungy groove. The lyrics are poetically biting, and bring to life a character who enjoys too many porkie pies.” Graeme at @york_calling He was there.

“Savage Mechanic kicks off with some awesome synth sounds before a funky bassline kicks in, and this mixed with the organ sound gives the song a certain swagger right from the start.” @themetalpriestess for Metal Asylum

“It must be hard to make something this infectious and fun with a heavy dollop of wry wit and cynicism.“ @donutrecordsofficial

“the ingenuity of this band takes over your body with an extremely addictive instrumental created with genres such as Pop, Rock and Punk“ @zonaemergente

“it is powerful and sticky, it is pure contemporary and nostalgic Rock and roll at the same time.“ @indieoclock

“"Savage Mechanic" is distinguished by bold arrangements and powerful lyrics. The group perfectly mixed powerful electronic sounds with alternative Rock influences, creating a unique musical fusion that makes their trademark.” @info_music_fr

Savage Mechanic

  

“I was there”

Pull on the robes of stolen valour. Your secret is safe with us. Savage Mechanic, you won the bakeoff, you fought for Queen, King and Country on foreign fields and they did indeed name a street after you in some dusty remote corner of the Earth.

We tried to write a song with the devil's groove. A song that zigged and zagged. We ended up with one that zagged and zigged, whispering dark thoughts. Three keyboards gave up their lives to make this song possible.

Mickey Humpper Reviews

 

As always we thank the people that took time to listen to our stuff and write words about it. This is a list of our favourite quotes and links back to the original articles. Translations are a mixture of Google Translate and Ted's ability to badly converse in many, if we make an error or change any meanings we apologise, it isn't on purpose!

“The Nasty brings the four-on-the-floor, the characteristic hymns, and the gang vocal chants inspired by that classic song about some guy named Mickey (which took me years to realize that it wasn’t Mickey Mouse).” @jpgchief

“With their characteristic sound and unwavering confidence, they ignite the stage with an explosive rock anthem. The track exudes a classic rock vibe as well, resulting in a fusion that bridges the gap between the rest of their discography that we’ve thoroughly enjoyed in the past.. The band's undeniable chemistry make "Mickey Humpper" an instant crowd-pleaser that leaves listeners craving more.” @wewriteaboutmusic

“In this collaboration there is all the sincerity of independent music. These projects are what keeps the creative fires of musical art alive” @edgarallanpoets

"In an unexpected collaboration, 9o'clock Nasty and The Qwarks deliver a unique musical experience - "Pocket Opera", inspired by the tale of a dog, Ludo, who loved his Mickey toy a bit too much. This is not just a quirky love story, but also a commentary on the struggle against capitalist overlords and their agents.” @tjplnews

“Mickey Humpper by 9 o’clock Nasty gives us a twist on a pep rally chant as per Toni Basil’s cheesy masterpiece Mickey. It’s infused with some good of fashioned British sensibilities and minimal lyrics gives us all we need to know about Ludo and his favourite toy. New music from 9 o’clock Nasty is always exciting because no matter how many of their tracks you listen to, they continue to surprise.” @york_calling

“The music and vocals combine to deliver an emotionally charged experience, urging listeners to confront their preconceived notions of love and relationships.” @music_arenagh

“British 9 o'clock Nasty are one of the biggest driving forces of this millennium when it comes to sonic transgression and nonstop release profusion! They always impact his productions and I always imagine that if Frank Zappa were still around, he would want to have these guys and their musical symbiosis gone mad as his backing band. And that is definitely no small feat!” @musicforallmag

“The ditty of Ludo and Mickey has the potential to prompt many questions. Terms such as consent, appropriate ways of expression, public nuisance, or sensuality may have to be re-discussed. The Ethics Committee for this case are Brighton’s The Qwarks and 9 o’clock nasty from Leicester." @mangowavereviews

“Seasoned with glam rock, a dash of grunge, and an entourage of slapping beats" @lostinthemanor

“The grit and sympathy of these musicians never fails and even in this case the typically rock sounds are embellished and characterized by almost "stadium" choirs and voices filtered and saturated to the limit to create a decidedly over-top atmosphere. The classic 70s rock-style arrangement will make many enthusiasts happy by discovering one of the most irreverent bands of the moment.” @artistionline_playlist

“Avec ce chef d’œuvre, 9 o’clock Nasty et The Qwarks repoussent les frontières de la musique. Ils nous rappellent que l’art a le pouvoir de susciter des discussions importantes et de remettre en question les normes établies.“ @info_music_fr

“Electrifying and peculiar sound… exhaling a sincere freshness” @headbangersnews_br

“The riff has that returning Queens of the Stone Age feel to it. They turn the instruments to a muted radio jam, while the lyrics boom. They have purpose and a few pints in them when they scream “Hey Mickey!”. Very soon, it becomes auto-suggestive, and you can’t stop yourself relooking at that retro rodent with different eyes. The name is so synonymous with the font, I give 9 o’clock Nasty props for using it on their cover art.” @sinusoidal.music

“With punk and progressive influences on both tracks, each song is completely different to the other, each band’s traits becoming apparent in their relevant song. 9 O’Clock Nasty’s track definitely has the punk vibe that I have come to know and love from them, and with the wackiness of the lyrics, this really is a track that stands out.” @metalpriestess

“Les artistes de ce morceau, véritables esprits libres, se rassemblent pour créer une explosion d’énergie qui brise les conventions. Avec leur style provocateur et audacieux, ils repoussent les limites de la musique, offrant une expérience sonore hors du commun.” @indieChronique

“Fans of experimental music and unconventional storytelling will find "Mickey Humper" to be a delightful and intriguing endeavor. The collaboration between 9 o'clock Nasty and The Qwarks pushes the boundaries of creativity, resulting in a project that is both playful and thought-provoking  @the_musical_road

 

 

Mickey Humpper, The Pocket Opera

   

Mickey Humpper is our contribution to the brunch time Pocket Opera, being released in partnership with The Qwarks.

Can you love someone too much? Can you be too public in showing your affection? What are the true limits of consensuality in modern intimate relationships? More importantly, who’s the leader of the club that's made for you and me? 

Ah yes indeed. There was once upon a time a dog called Ludo. He featured in a conversation between 9 o’clock Nasty and the Qwarks online. Ludo loved his Mickey toy just a little too much for polite company.

Both bands were enchanted by the tale of adoration and pure animal lust. So we joined forces to write a Pocket Opera about it. MICKEY HUMPER is a two part musical collaboration that pays proper tribute to the relentless creature and the terrorised toys of his world. 

“In his relentless physical pumping Mickey Humper demonstrates that we are not the slaves of global media empires. We salute our comrades, The Qwarks.” (9 o’clock Nasty)

“Objectophilia is a little understood phenomenon and we feel that a Pocket Opera is the best way to raise awareness of this issue. At its heart the songs are a love story. Just a rather one sided one. We’re excited to be working with 9 o’clock Nasty in bringing brunch time opera to the masses.” (the Qwarks)

Reviews for "Dude, Your Mom's a Squid?"

 

As always we thank the people that took time to listen to our stuff and write words about it. This is a list of our favourite quotes and links back to the original articles. Translations are a mixture of Google Translate and Ted's ability to badly converse in many, if we make an error or change any meanings we apologise, it isn't on purpose!

"Earth’s most beloved musical team has paired up once again in an amazing feat of dexterity, musical prowess, and bizarre charm. Their new collaboration is not what we wanted… but what we deserved. “Dude, Your Mom’s A Squid?” takes us for a psychedelic ride after eating a dodgy slice of pizza... this song is an abrupt reminder that The Nasty Unicorns give zero fucks" @jpgchief

“The undeniable anthem for the summer”  #hailtunes

“Certainly one of the most avant-garde tracks we’ve heard this year, the record is an ode to the bizarre hallucinations that the mind conjures when you are tripping balls.  The track feels very 90s alt rock with some 70s funk infusion here and there.  It’s a bold vocal” @NecessOutlet

“If you close your eyes while listening to it, an extra-sensory trip is guaranteed” @edgarallabnpoets

"There’s no way to really describe it. You just need to listen to Dude, Your Mom’s A Squid? for yourself" @york_calling

“Following the brash grittiness of their punk meets grunge single ‘Mood Is Low’, the Unicorns splatter a wistful, whimsical pop sound across Nasty’s abrupt trip-hop in the new ‘Dude, Your Mom’s A Squid?’. Bare and completely vulnerable at its melodic core, 9 o’clock Nasty strips you to your bones with its hard-hitting beats reaching you at your most vulnerable; then I Am The Unicorn Head’s blanket of whimsical alternative pop hugs you close.” @theothersidereviews

“Dude, Your Mom’s A Squid?” presents the old school sound of rock’n’roll and the sensibility of modern indie, proving that they knew how to use all their influences and mix in a peculiar way to create their own identity in the music scene - and what an identity!” @headbangersnews_br

“Opening with a groovy drum beat, the synth and funky guitars take over. You have permission to revel in it for a minute, and the preaching begins. Not really subtle, the mushroom pizza might have been more potent than your ordinary Papa John’s…. 9 o’clock Nasty have nothing to prove any more, their genre is one that they rule with an iron fist.” @sinusoidal.music

“Dude, Your Mom’s a Squid?” is a psychedelic masterpiece. A mind-bending collaboration of musical prowess, storytelling and dry humour this track is really one-of-a-kind. I don’t think I can fully capture or translate the wonderful vibes and whimsical flights of fancy this single takes, but it is a truly spectacular experience that you must listen to!  @lostinthemanor_blog

“3 bad kids with a passion for rock, the real one, the one who knows that distorted guitars must dominate the scene.

But ... beware! In this latest single "Dude, Your Mom's A Squid?" there is a change of course, a U-turn (perhaps a parenthesis) that amazes us with irony and psychedelic setting.” @artistionline_playlist

“a single that delivers to the public a sound that goes through garage/alt rock, trip hop, hip-hop beats, vocal elements of rap and a lyricism that maintains the extroverted/fun trend of the band, now in partnership with I Am The Unicorn Head, also known among Brazilian and international readers of the site.” @gdltudosobremusica

“…steers more towards a dark-pop, psychedelic sound. …A track that is so far out there, it’s hard to come back from, Dude, Your Mom’s A Squid? is a great track that, for just under four minutes, will transport you away into a nonsensical, weird world, and return you to planet earth wondering what the hell just happened!” @themetalpriestess

“The track is highlighted by playful vocals, stiff break beats, and rugged synths. 9 o’clock Nasty’s new release, “Dude, Your Mom’s a Squid?” is a mind-bending alt-rock banger and the perfect addition to any indie playlist.” @senocular_media

“In partnership with I Am The Unicorn Head, they bring an indie rock synthesizer, which transports us to the 80s and 90s, a mixture of nostalgic indie pop, with the beats that involve us and make us want to dance. The vocal sings softly, with a rhythm that flows naturally in our veins and the melody is engraved in our mind.” @indieoclock

“..blow away farty old-fashioned cock rock and corporate music reek… an atmospheric Dreamgaze foundation that reaches through the song like a thick mist. Funky guitar licks that remind of 9 o’clock nasty’s King Thing form a spinning kaleidoscope amidst this sonic mist.” @mangowavereviews

 

Dude, Your Mom's A Squid

  

A third instalment of weird with the psychedelic popsters  @iamtheunicornhead  

We’ve all been there. You know the feeling, right? 

You had something dodgy on that pizza and the next moment you meet god AND HER MOTHER'S A SQUID. It all makes sense. 

For one moment of clarity, you understand the universe. Then you throw up.

The summer of 2023 did not ask for a psychedelic masterpiece. It did not say “make the feel good hit of the summer be the strangest song ever recorded by humans and half-humans.” But as we are all gradually learning, you don’t get what you ask for, you get what you deserve. 

Take the brutalist skeleton of beat built by 9 o’clock Nasty and layer it with sublime pop whimsy from I Am The Unicorn Head and you get the new single entitled DUDE, YOUR MOM’S A SQUID?  This time the Unicorn bring the  twisted logic and Nasty supply the kick, kick, bam to power a summer of ruthless hedonism.
