The Full Nine - The Full Nine

Veterans of Toronto cover bands, the Full Nine “grooves with the purposeful stagger of a drunk negotiating his way through a crowded bar to get to the can,” ventures the group’s publicity material. Who writes this stuff? Still, the hard-rock quartet shows promise and doesn’t hide its influences, with guitarist Rob Langhans singing alternatively like Robert Plant and Thom Yorke on the “Fourteen” and “Gotta Wanna” sounding like Red Hot Chili Peppers.
