Daily electricity to load your sonic batteries…

“Horror movies are made to scare people, why don’t we make music to scare people?”.
That’s what Ozzy Fucking Osbourne said to his guitarist Tony Iommi discussing the
way Black Sabbath should sound. I’m pretty convinced that Manchester’s creepy
psych-o-billy misfits THE 99 DEGREE had similar discussions before starting up.

Check their new noxious single ‘JOIN THE KILLER’ and you’ll find out what I mean.
Imagine the Cramps jamming with Link Wray with Dead Kennedys in the producer’s chair. The final result is a mean machine motherrocker with a psycho-killer swagger (eat your heart out David Byrne), gruesome riffs, Hitchcock hooks, and a battering swamp-blues
beat. Add a nightmarish chorus and bloodcurdling vocals and you know this creepy colored mask gang (eat your heart out Slipknot) hates any kind of bullshit. Let me
warn you, do not mess with THE 99 DEGREE.

Lock up your daughters and release the bats…
