You're in for a treat with a bigger bite than usual with our rock gems this week. We have features from 9 o’clock Nasty, The Mercaddonas & Backstrom to liven up your day!
9 o’clock Nasty-Bad Vegan
This band can’t help staying out of their punk rock unbridled energy they offer. Bad Vegan is another anthem, with the band leaning into their acerbic wit and satire, while packing the dynamite energy they have so often teased us with. It starts in 5th gear, and the song is pretty much a drift race, burning rubber and petrol fumes putting a frown on the face of anyone who’s in the mood to whine. They write riffs that are stickier than maple sap, quicker than a racoon whose beaver is on fire. 9 o’clock Nasty are the reason this playlist is getting a higher average on the tempo chart. Thank them for the real thing:
The Mercadonnas-Animals
This band made you wait since August for another fix of their power packed rock. They are reminders of the classics of Fontaines D.C, while something about their melodic sorcery is a spell that is their own. You’re spellbound with the kind of sound a 2 piece rock “boy band” is able to make with their tremendous talent. Remember when you strapped a Walkman to your waist and grooved to numbers like this, inconspicuously? Welcome back to that age, with all the perfect contemporary blends that this caffeine roast needed. The Mercadonnas make more happen in 4 minutes than an action packed GoPro feature on YouTube. God bless them for this miracle:
Backstrom-Daydreaming (ft. Bart Topher)
This is the song that provides an introverted dive for your drive. A country soul revived with the kind of lyrics only a poet can write, you’re in for a treat. Backstrom and Bart Topher make a song that will be the voice of your conscience, while giving gripping, emotional evocative pockets of sound. Backstrom goes another layer into his range as a musician, making a memorable number that amplifies his versatility furthermore. Stringed elements will make you tear up, accenting the progression he has chosen so well. The instrumentals are as impressive as the effort in creating such a stylistic story, taking you back in time while you look to the future:
