Tales From Shermer Songs


Details:
Formed in the late 90's after its members spent several years of crossing paths in other bands, 9-Fifty has entertained audiences throughout the Midwest, enjoying exposure at many of Chicago's major alternative music venues.

As the bands' influences range from The Replacements to Soul Asylum and Wilco, its songs are smoothly delivered with the pop-icon, Pirneresque vocal stylings of singer John Castino.

Lead guitarist Mc-O's extensive Jazz and Fusion background helps him shed new light on 'alterna-pop' guitar riffs while Drummer Kary "Elvi" Brown, consistently provides not only a precise, but lyrical rhythmic foundation for this up and coming groups music.

9-Fifty's debut CD Tales from Shermer showcases their unique style. This collection of music, inspired by the imagery and vibe of the band's Chicago surroundings, features "Nobody Knows," which shines with John's hypnotic, mildly wounded rasp. The song's jangley guitars lay the groundwork for a slightly psychedelic groove. "One Way" has a Replacements feel with a large helping of Matthew Sweet thrown in for good measure. It's an upbeat anthem that shows a little of the new garage-rock beat of bands like The Vines or The Strokes. "Paula's Song" has a great melody, drenched in strong yet pleading vocals...and these songs are just the beginning. Tales from Shermer is a must-have for any CD collection.
