Review: 9 o’clock Nasty “LEE IOCOCCA”
With “LEE
IOCOCCA” Leicester’s ever-unpredictable 9 o’clock Nasty once again
prove they are masters of provocation, satire, and dancefloor-friendly danger.
This seventh single from the upcoming album Chaos is a snarling,
acid-soaked punk anthem that turns corporate amorality into something you can
move your body to and feel uneasy about while doing so.
Built on a
bristling, killer beat, the track weaponizes history, using the Ford Pinto
scandal as a symbol of post-capitalist cynicism where profit calculations
outweigh human lives. The band’s trademark sharp wit cuts deep here: this isn’t
just a song about villains, but about systems that reward them. The groove is
relentless, the delivery biting, and the message unsettlingly clear; you don’t need to pull the trigger to be truly
dangerous when shareholder value is king.
Musically,
“LEE IOCOCCA” fuses punk urgency with a grimy, almost dance-punk propulsion,
giving the track that “dance until you drop” irony the band excels at. It’s
confrontational, clever, and unapologetically fun in the darkest possible way.
At Lelahel
Metal, we’ve had the pleasure of interviewing 9 o’clock Nasty twice
and reviewing four of their previous singles; this marks the fifth we’ve
covered, and their audacity still hits hard. We genuinely admire their fearless
spirit and refusal to play it safe. Chaos is shaping up to be exactly
what its title promises.
