Chicago based rockers, Nine24, serve up old school rock-n-roll flavor
with their sophomore release, “6-Pack”. Following in the innuendo of
arena rockers Van Halen and Aerosmith, Nine24 delivers a solid
performance and continues to put the fun back in rock-n-roll. Nine24’s
“6-Pack” is their debut on Kivel Records, and takes the attitude
introduced on their independently released CD “Five Bucks A Cup” to the
next level.
Nine24 had established a name for themselves in indie rock circles with
“Five Bucks A Cup” just a few years ago as a no frills, party rock band.
The album reminded everyone that rock-n-roll was simply about taking a
break from life’s little miseries, throwing on some tunes, grabbing a
beer, and having a good time. What really makes Nine24 shine was the
personality that comes through in their music. Their infectious “live
hard, rock hard” attitude that has sorely missed in the music of the
last decade was a welcome change to their steadily growing group of
followers. That attitude has been amplified tenfold on their upcoming
release “6-Pack”. Nine24 has honed their songwriting skills to match
their stellar musicianship and is ready to make everyone else true
rock-n-roll believers. The band consists of vocalist Phil Baranchik,
guitarist Chris Riccardo, and bassist Tim Bradley. Nine24 rounded out
the line-up on “6-Pack” by adding Harmony Riley drummer, and son of
Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen, Daxx Nielsen to complete their powerhouse
sound. The strength of this chemistry is evident throughout the album in
songs like “Pleasure Ride”, “Temple Of Insanity”, and “Feel The Burn”.
For “6-Pack”, Nine24 sought the best talent they could find to bring
their rock-n-roll wet dream to life. The album was recorded in Rockford,
Illinois at The Noise Chamber and produced by Jimmy Johnson and
engineered by Fast Eddie Dulian in early 2001. Jimmy is best known for
his work with Cheap Trick and Hollywood Records Artists, The Pimps. To
visually match the energy and attitude of the music, Nine24 hired award
winning art director Stephen Jensen of F3 Design to conceptualize the
album packaging and matching website. Adding to the team of professional
creatives was Cheap Trick photographer, Mike Graham, and providing the
cover eye candy was model and Penthouse Pet, Alex Arden.
With the album now completely wrapped up, Nine24 is preparing to unveil
it’s masterpiece to the world. On Tuesday, March 5th, 2002, the album
“6-Pack” and the band’s new website (www.Nine24.com) will be released.

At the beginning of this month we released a three-song single for 'Worth the Wait'. Check out our site for ordering information. But I advise you to be quick, because we only pressed 500 copies of which 400 have already been sold at shows! We've got good reactions on the cd and it has been played from time to time on (inter)national radio. (Studio Brussel, Kink FM, Radio 3)
We're also working on a video clip for the song. We recorded some live footage in de Koornbeurs in Delft last month and everything went great, so thanx to everyone who helped us out in making this possible! We're still recording some other shots and there's some animation that has yet to be finished. So don't expect the video to be ready earlier than March.
If you want to hear what I'm talking about, download the titletrack directly from our site; www.facetomorrow.net (and make sure you bookmark the damn thing ;-))
Like I said, we released Worth the Wait ourselves as a single. And it's one of the songs we recorded for "For Who You Are", our debut full length. All recordings have been finished now and all that's left to do is a little mixing and mastering. We still haven't got a clue on how we are gonna release this album, so I can't give you a releasedate yet. Releasing it ourselves again will be pretty difficult, because we barely have the money to pay for the recordings. We'll see....
