In a not-so-distant past, Mother Nature stood as a gentle nurturer for our planet. However, recent years have witnessed a stark transformation. Nature now arrives at your doorstep with the scent of beer, doling out pills and sweets. While its intentions may be benevolent, can it be trusted not to wreak havoc on the entire family?
Enter the wicked uncle with a mischievous twinkle—UNKLE NATUR. We’ve all been a bit naughty, and Unkle Natur is here to make us play or pay, perhaps both. The clash of grinding hip-hop beats with garage rock anthems, entangled with electro-dub melodies and indie freak show absurdity, sets the stage for 9 o’clock Nasty’s bold new musical direction—a punchier sound that might still extend an apology afterward. After all, we’re not animals, but a punch remains a punch. Can forgiveness prevail? Ted Pepper of 9 o’clock Nasty reflects, “There is no environmental rallying call for the 2020s. Nobody has made a song to express the futility of burning our way to suffocation so someone can live in a bigger house. Well, not until now.” Pete Brock adds, “Denial is pointless. Acceptance is everything. Act now and kick to the beat.”
Scheduled for release on all streaming platforms and YouTube on Saturday, November 18th, 2023, the song promises a wild ride. Brace yourselves for the upcoming months as 9 o’clock Nasty unveils a new project titled “WELCOME TO CROWLAND.” This is music that lingers in the air, leaving behind a brooding silence. Leave your coat and step into the night—9 o’clock Nasty is out there, waiting for you.

The clearer the path with the divine, the more honest the music will be. There’s no limit to how high this can reach.” “Swing!
