• Belfast band Nine Lies came to our attention due to this song, ‘Nothing Left For Me’, being something of a Youtube sensation, notching up over 50,000 hits in 100 days, and that figure is still rising (both figures, since time doesn’t actually stand still). So I had to give the tune a listen to see what the fuss was about [+ Show ]

So I had to give the tune a listen to see what the fuss was about.
  
  Hmmm. After a first listen, I had made my mind up. A second, third, fourth and all subsequent listenings just confirmed what I knew after the first listen. And that’s this; this tune is awesome! It rocks hard and gave me a rock hard. Ahem. Nine Lies clearly like their rock, and they like it classic, as perfectly exemplified by this tune. It starts off with a truly ace bass riff that is shot through with funk and vibrated against my very soul, before a terrific guitar lick slides over the top. Then the vocal join the fray, and what a voice! Vocalist Stevie Mann has a voice like a combination of Brandon Boyd from Incubus and Andrew McMahon from Wolfmother yet one that wouldn’t sound out of place fronting Free, Boston or even Aerosmith. He’s got an amazing range and uses it here, hitting the high notes and the low notes so very sweetly each time. Indeed his voice powers the song, with the blazing guitars struggling to compete with it, brilliantly played as they are, with guitarists Nick Black and Dave Kernohan teasing squeals of delight from their instruments, pouring blinding classic rock riffs all over the tune, ala the masters like Joe Perry, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen et al. Bassist John Rossi funks up the tune throughout with some mean bass riffs, often rumbling under the mix like thunder, whilst drummer Stoogie assaults the drums like they’ve just called his girlfriend a nasty name. All these elements make for a simply brilliant song, one that will demand repeated listens. Give it a blast and you won’t be disappointed, and if you are, then get a soul you hideous demon.
  
  Scintillating stuff!
  
  ‘Nothing Left For Me’ is out now and is available on the band’s website

I wanted to hear them sing, so I visited the site.. and I WAS AWED! Nine Lies definitely rocks! The vocals and instruments compliment to create a sound that creates a feeling of subtle seriousness to the message of the song. They deserve to have a name in the music scene." Jodelen Ortiz, www.WikiMusicGuide.com Admin Member "Nine Lies, Sounding absolutely Brilliant!" --- Downtown Radio DJ Johnny Hero on the title track Behind It All "A new favourite band in Nine Lies" --- DJ Khiki Kavanagh on the Indie Limelight show "a crusade as much as a band" for our standing against POP PAP! --- music critic Deci Gallen on Radio Ulsters play of Too Late

All you have to do is have fun, and produce high quality music. I'll admit, I personally hadn't heard of Nine lies until just a couple days ago. The band's electronic press kit was sent here to IndieShows and after listening to a few of their songs, I knew I wanted this band to be the first band written about on our new blog! I can't believe I haven't heard of them before. I put '9lies band' into google.com and I got all hundreds of websites and articles about the band. This also proves that good indie music is hard to find, because there is so much good indie music out there, you need sites like ours to filter through them and dig 'em up! This band is not that old, they formed around 2003 and by 2006 they were getting FM radio airplay, not to mention online radio airplay and podcast plays. In fact, in 2006 Warner Bros. actually used their song 'Behind it All' for a TV series in the U.S. called 'Our Prisoner'! You know you've got something when you start attracting the attention of recording companies like Warner Brothers. I listened to 'Slippin Away' and it is so catchy and powerful. A lot of music I hear is missing powerfulness, it is missing that gut, goose bump rising, feeling. 9lies' music gives you that FEELING! You just feel good after listening to it. The vocals are excellent and you can understand the vocals, which is another thing I love, I love being able to actually understand the singer. The drummer, and lead guitar work in the song is fantastic. You can tell these guys work really hard and have a lot of fun doing what they're doing. I don't know about you, but 9lies is a new favorite band of mine.
