Dear Evil Nine…
You were the guys that told us ‘You Can be Special Too’, hooking up with the likes of Aesop Rock and creating music with an authentic punk/hip-hop vibe. ‘They Live’ showed us that you could progress but still keep your musical roots.
What the Hell happened?!? Your latest EP, No Manners, sounds like something that would be included as part of a Ministry of Sound fitness DVD… and I am a really big fan of Evil Nine.
It was painful enough when Adam Freeland went electro (‘Silverlake Pills’ was a great track, but it just doesn’t compare to some of his earlier work like ‘Mindkiller’ or even the White Stripes bootleg ‘Seven Nation Freeland’) Please don’t make the same mistake.
If this is what Marine Parade are aiming for, I’m off to the pier and I’m going to jump.
