9 LEFT DEAD’S
DEBUT ALBUM, ‘THE WRONG THINGS,’
OUT TODAY ON DIRTBAG/ILG
September 27,
2011 – THE WRONG THINGS by 9 LEFT DEAD--Travis Jones (vocals),
Jared Ellis (bass), Kreg Anthony (lead guitar), Nathan Parrish (rhythm
guitar) and Bryan Whitley (drums)—was released today through
Dirtbag (through Warner Music Group’s Independent Label Group).
The buzz
for the Oklahoma band’s debut album has been building thanks
to early adds for the first single, “Put Your Guns Down,”
on radio stations nationwide, including KATT (in their hometown,
Oklahoma City), WIIL (Chicago), WKLC (Charleston, WV), WJJO (Madison)
and WRTT (Huntsville).
The song stems from an incident at an Oklahoma City prison, which
is where singer Travis Jones and bassist Jared Ellis first met and
worked together as guards.
As singer
Travis Jones recently told AOL/Noisecreep.com, “One day we
had an inmate come in thinking he was a little more hardcore than
he actually ended up being. I was having a bad night, and to add
to it, this inmate kept running his mouth. One thing lead to another
and he ended up taking a swing at me. So I moved in on him, picked
him up, and slammed him into the ground taking control of the situation.
Later on that night I was going back over what had just happened
in my head and the line ‘careful what you wish for’
kept sticking in my head, because he wanted to fight, but I know
he didn't see it playing out the way it actually did. And it made
me think about those guys that think they are unstoppable until
someone actually puts them in their place. That's where the idea
for ‘Put Your Guns Down’ came from."
With producers
Cody Hanson and Marshal Dutton behind the boards for THE WRONG THINGS,
the band has perfected the merging of their up-tempo, aggressive
and pounding sound with melodic vocal hooks and identifiable lyrics
that appeal to a broad audience. With an unbreakable chemistry,
9 LEFT DEAD brings an action packed show every night leaving it
all out there on the stage for the fans.
