9 o'clock Nasty - Kid Blast

​9 o'clock Nasty

Kid Blast
self-released; 2024

By Dan Weston

9 o'clock Nasty, a fiery trio from the UK, burst forth with their latest single, "Kid Blast," a track that captures the essence of carefree rebellion. With a mantra as sharp as it is simple--"Be cool, wrong none, don’t take some shit from anyone"—the song feels like an anthem for anyone tired of conformity. It’s a celebration of attitude, delivered with a smirk and a punch.

​Musically, "Kid Blast" thrives on punk rock fundamentals. Distorted guitars blaze over a steady 4/4 beat, while the bassline provides a solid, grooving backbone. The structure may be straightforward, revolving around familiar major and minor chords, but the energy is anything but. The band channels the same irreverent spirit that made the Beastie Boys' "Fight for Your Right" a generational touchstone. A ripping guitar solo provides an electric jolt, but it’s the shout-along chorus that cements the track’s staying power.

This was my first time hearing 9 o'clock Nasty, but they immediately struck a chord. Their music doesn’t just invite you to let loose—it insists on it, blending an infectious sense of fun with a message that sticks. "Kid Blast" is the kind of track that begs to be played loud and often.
