Nine Black Alps

indie vixen · 07-25-2005, 08:35 AM

I really hate the way NME made a huge deal about them being the next Nirvana a few months ago. Yeah theyre sound is grunge, theyre different to a lot of the new bands around at the moment, and being a Nirvana fan i do like them, but they still have a bit of a way to go before they can even be compared, sorry. But as a new band i think they will do well, their last few gigs sold out so they must be doing something right.

Ill (hopefully) be seeing them in a few weeks *crosses fingers* Should be awesome. And I dont see why everything grunge should be compared to Nirvana... Nine Black Alps have a grunge part of them, but its not as if they're trying to walk in Nirvanas footsteps anyways.

^ me too, me too! I'm seeing them too! *gets excited* (well aita, you knew that) but still, yeah theyre awesome. Yeah, i'd have to agree with you about the Nirvana thing.

so i WAS right all along they do sound like nirvana

Imonlydancing · 07-26-2005, 12:08 PM

Maybe they have nirvana influences...but they don't sound exactly like nirvana, well in my opinion anyways.

ArtistInTheAmbulance · 07-26-2005, 01:00 PM

Nuh uh, very different to Nirvana. I think they jus have a grunge influence in general. Theres always a lot more to a genre than one band, obviously. They dont sound much like Nirvana to me, but I see aspects of it in them I guess. *Makes no sense* Ah well.

I've only heard 'Not Everyone'. It's an OK song, Haven't heard any others though.

Imonlydancing · 08-19-2005, 01:31 PM

Well, I went to see them, I met Sam, and it was awesome. *dances* SOOO good. Front row, Got the Playlist AND a drumstick.

^My Friend with Amazingly-cool hair SAM (NBA) and Me....looking awful.
