Biography:
“The
Los Angeles based quartet played their first show in 2011 at the Roxy Theatre,
and it wasn't long before they were promoting their own nights at the club.
Their shows were such a success, there were constant lines waiting to get in to
see 9ELECTRIC
share the stage with then-unsigned bands including Otherwise, Butcher
Babies and Nothing More. The nights often ended - and still do - with the band
hosting a party. From day one, 9ELECTRIC had a vision that was
bigger than a 45-minute show - it's about making every show an event, and
making every event an experience to remember.
"When
we play shows in Hollywood we sometimes don't get to talk to talk to people for
more than a minute or two, at most - but we like to hang out with our friends,
fans, label and other bands," says Casey. "Instead of rushing
everyone after the show, we throw a party so we can all make the most of the
night... Come for the party, but stay for the emotional release from our
songs!"
In
the end, the joke is on everyone else, because we all know the truth - there's
nothing wrong with being one of the damaged ones. In fact, never has being
damaged felt so good!” --Paul Gargano,

9Electric –
good name and superb cover are soon to release their mega 12 track album called
The Damaged Ones and also the title
of the band’s first track, and what a sound they have produced? The start of
this album you can clearly hear a sensational vocal array that blends with some
catchy rhythmic slabs of anthemic rock! The prickly pulse Programming really
boosts the track and is a gripping encounter that’s hard to pull away from. The
guitars unleash a sizzling batch of thrilling riffs that together with the
overall blend of melodic rhythms are just phenomenal and will live in your head
long after the track has finished. New
God literally explodes into a torrential pulse of rhythmic madness showing
a heavier flavour of harsh vocal but not splitting away from that curdling
melody! Naked will no doubt appeal
more to the industrial metal heads among us and cause a stir on a dance floor
as it unfolds. The formation is regimented and creative. Beautiful offers a scintillating backdrop of sophistication and
that is both with the vocal arrangement and the music content that sweeps over
the ears in a grand wash of beauty. Lies
gives out smothering rhythms that nobody can ignore! The catchiness sparks
attention and arouse the soul in such an amazing way! Goodbye shows off some samples at the beginning and then plunges
into a jagged rhythm allowing a soft velvet vocal to lay on the bristling riffs
along with strong lyrics. Take it Away fluctuates
with powerful punchy rhythms blistering with a tremendous beat. Again with the
catchiness never far away! Little Things
explodes with sensuous keyboard rhythms giving way to a softer vocal. It holds
a melancholic feel but none the less pleasing to the ears! Filthy is what it says on the label as it bursts into palpitating
menace but swept along on catchy cleverly written lyrics and a pounding beat
that is unrelenting. Toxic Angel spreads
a sinister eerie edge along with some resonating beats and punchy rhythm, while
the vocals gnaw at the ears. More, More sees
a lot more of the programming element coming out with ‘sweary’ lyrics
and a hard core magnetic pulse of rhythms that grab attention with immediate
effect! I Die is simply riveting,
hard, heavy and immense!
Superb
album not a weak track in sight – addictive, catchy and atmospheric! Definitely
one for the collection!
