Rock/Review 9 o'clock Nasty - Peacekeeper

9 o'clock Nasty is emerging, glistening from the plague pits of Leicester. They play with glitter, and they take no prisoners. Relentless and yet full of love, they take a side-eyed look at the world and punish it with driving beats and mild sarcasm.

"Peacekeeper" by 9 o'clock Nasty is their most recent single, which delivers a gritty, unapologetic song for a world on the verge of collapse as it plunges headfirst into the growing wave of worldwide turmoil. The song, which is blistering and unrepentant, serves as a harsh reminder that even while we advocate for peace, we are still preparing for war and counting down the seconds until it will undoubtedly break out. Tic. Toc. Tic.

With a fresh sense of urgency, “Peacekeeper” embodies the band's trademark garage-punk aggression. Raw distortion, scathing lyrics, and a rhythm section that marches like boots on pavement are all there here; there is no polish. In the greatest sense of the word, it's a return to the garage: uncompromising, immediate, and primitive.

“Peacekeeper” is satirical and scream-worthy in its theme. It serves as a window into a culture that is addicted to war, where peace slogans are spray-painted on missile flanks. It's more than simply a line: "Every breath you take, breathe in the hate" is a warning, a provocation, and a dare. The distinction between rebellion and survival is blurred as the song uses riddles and fists to communicate.

“Peacekeeper,” the second song from their upcoming album “Chaos,” establishes the theme of the album—music as a tool, a message, and a movement. The accompanying music video intensifies the craziness of the song even more, with sound and images clashing in a confusing assault that begs you to turn away but you won't.

“Peacekeeper” demands attention in a society that has become insensitive to anger. Peace is not being asked for. It demands an accounting.
