Establishing the mood with textured, rhythmic drums, an astral riser, a cerebral synth and nuanced sound design, 9 o’clock Nasty open People Pleaser with the raw dimensionality that we have come to love and expect from the band, having featured a slew of their iconic singles.
9 o’clock Nasty always have an important point of view, and once again, People Pleaser serves as another string to their bow and wider manifesto as an eye-opening, thought-provoking band. They sing, “People pleasure, pleasure seekers, look at me and always getting bigger, we know that life just ends in death…”
Speaking on the release, they add, “If you’re in retail work, sex work, financial services or a death cult, you will have moments when you want to scream at the entitled masses. This is the song for you.”
The punk band from Leicester, England have created a song that talks about how people used to make and build things, but now many of us work in service jobs, trying to keep others happy all the time. The band says we’ve all become “people pleasers,” expected to please everyone, even though that’s impossible. But still, we’re told we must try, or else.
The trio worked hard to get the sound just right. They say this is their best version of what they call “peak Nasty” – intense, sharp, and full of feeling.
9 o’clock Nasty are a bold and unique punk trio made up of Pete Brock (guitar/vocals), Ted Pepper (bass/vocals), and Sydd Spudd (drums). Their music mixes punk with other styles like funk, indie rock, and even disco. Their songs often tackle modern issues with sharp humor and a rebellious spirit.
Naturally, we have added the brilliant People Pleaser to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream the mind-bending wider discography of the band, watch their epic music videos, and anticipate future releases!
