9 O'Clock Nasty is back, and they brought one heck of a party starter with them! Their new single "SMASH, GRAB & GO" absolutely tore through my headphones like a tornado, and I've been buzzing ever since.
A searing guitar riff slashes through the darkness, breathing fire. The vocal delivery is pure grit laced with lightning bolts. As the song hurtles towards the chorus, it flexes its muscles. It's like mainlining pure punk rock energy straight into your veins. The drums are absolute machines, driving the song forward with precision. It all builds perfectly into an eruption of a chorus that'll have you shouting out the lyrics. The vocals are truly something to behold. They belt out in unison the lyrics with a gritty degree that'll raise the hairs on your neck. You can feel the passion and volume in every word. Between the vocals and the instrumentals, "SMASH, GRAB & GO" is essentially musical whiplash, and I'm addicted.
The guitars intertwine gorgeously while the drums pound out like heartbeats. I can easily see it igniting the audience and crowd-surfing at their live shows. It's two minutes of rock that'll leave you breathless and craving more.
9 O'Clock Nasty has a talent for distilling big, chaotic emotions down to their natural form. As member Pete Brock mentioned, "This one hits you on the back of the head and drinks all your coffee." What's especially cool is hearing how 9 O'Clock Nasty have evolved their beloved sound. All the trademarks that made me fall in love with their early work are still there; the pace, magnitude, and vocals.
From "SMASH, GRAB & GO," you know 9 O'Clock Nasty's upcoming releases are going to be an incendiary beast. I can't wait to see what other gifts they have in store. In the meantime, you'd be doing yourself a disservice not to crank up this pulverizing new single immediately. Turn it up, throw your hands up, and get ready to smash some stuff! 9 O'Clock Nasty is back and they're bringing the party. This is hands-down one of my favorite songs of the year so far.
