Let us talk about 9 o'clock nasty because one might assume that with their first EP release in 2022, the Leicester-based band is back in business. But actually, they have never been gone. Maybe, since the release of previous EP "Politic" two days before New Year's Eve 2021, 9 o'clock nasty have caught some fresh air. But they have definitely been around all the time - in their fans' hearts, dreams, fantasies, and maybe even nightmares. Two days before Valentine's Day 2022, the English band has brought joy and love upon our planet with their recent three-track EP "Sex".


The first track 'Do me, too' is a bone-dry and seducting Garage Rock banger. A soundscape hot as love and dry as envy invites us on a thrilling journey through the spheres of fetish and free love. The song comes with a reference to a famous song by The Stooges, and the track deals with the question how to deal with jealousy in polyamorous relationships.


The second track 'What have you done for me lately?' is a lot darker, both music-wise and in content. As the title already tell us, this song is about power and is potential to destroy a relationship's harmony. On a driving and sonorous bass line, 9 o'clock nasty tell about relationships that become battlegrounds. Once it is not about trust and love anymore but about who invested more time and energy into the relationship, it might be a good time to either look for drastic changes, or to break up.


And finally, the sweet ballad 'Indoor Boyfriend' is dedicated to those people who do not have to talk about sex because they are sex - and toxicity, too. This Surf and Wave anthem makes the sun shine for you, and also reminds us to smash patriarchy.

Is this 9 o'clock nasty's sexiest release so far? Most certainly! Between sarcasm and brutal honesty, the trio from Leicester reminds us that love, affection, and sex are not always as easy to handle as it appears. And the sounds on this release are sexy as hell.
