9ELECTRIC Release Debut Full Length Album
"The Damaged Ones"
On Tour Now w/Gemini Syndrome and Stitched Up Heart
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JULY 15, 2016
Hollywood based Electronic Rock outfit 9ELECTRIC has released their debut full length album, The Damaged Ones,
today (July 15th) via Another Century Records. In support of the new
album, the band is currently on the road for a two month long tour
alongside labelmates Gemini Syndrome and Stitched Up Heart, which will
see the three bands play throughout the states.
Speaking about the release of The Damaged Ones, Ron Thunderwood (vocals) states, "This
album is the culmination of five insane years of touring and
inspiration, captured and converted into a tiny stereo waveform for your
entertainment. A sound wrought in real broken bones, broken hearts and
victories. This is 9E's first official statement - our treatise on the
human condition. We Are The Damaged Ones!"
9ELECTRIC frontman Ron "Thunderwood" will also be conducting phone
interviews this coming Wednesday (July 20th) between 1-4pm CST. If you
wish to schedule a time to speak with him, please reach out to David
McDonald at Another Century. A full stream of THE DAMAGED ONES on
YouTube is available via the link below. Any other needed assets are
available upon request.

The Damaged Ones
is 9ELECTRIC setting their conviction to music. It is not a placebo
intended to placate the masses, it is intense group therapy for the band
and their fans. "The album describes the human condition - no one is
truly safe, because at some point we're all damaged," says Thunderwood,
bassist Casey DC adding, "the song itself - the album's title track - is
about the process of becoming damaged and how it leads to being
socially ostracized, a common feeling amongst bands and fans. This has
been a theme in rock music for decades, and this song is about how we
band together and become part of the rock scene as opposed to the
mainstream."
From
the opening declaration that "we are the damaged ones...", we are met
with a thunderous resolve that doesn't falter throughout the album's 12
tracks. "The Damaged Ones," "Little Things" and "Beautiful" represent
the band at their emotional best, with "New God," "Naked" and "Lies"
fulfilling our more carnal desires. Guitars lay the foundation, and
subtle layers of electronics propel the album to heights of sheer sonic
splendor, transforming the listening experience into an aerobic
exercise. "Take It Away" sprints from start to finish in a neon wash,
while "More More" explodes like a supernova, according to Thunderwood,
driven by its "pummeling, knuckle-dragging beat, and the snidest burns
I've ever dished out on vocals."
