The long awaited return of UK punkers 999

“'Bish! Bash! Bosh' is about cooking up a storm with our music,” explains vocalist and guitarist Nick Cash of English punk rock outfit 999. “There’s one thing that it has always been about in everything that we have ever done and that’s freedom, and of course dancing.”

The band will release their first new studio album in over 13 years on April 24 via Cleopatra Records. The band's lead single is “Crazy Tuesday World.”

“The verses are actual quotes/words from people that hear voices in their head,” describes Cash. Also, limited edition green vinyl is now available for preorder.

Bish! Bash! Bosh! includes songs about people that hear voices in their head (“Crazy Tuesday World”) and paranoia surrounding guns and shooting people (“Shoot”) to frustration with the modern world (“I Hate It All”) to PTSD (“My Dad Trashed My Submarine”) and getting your head out of the sand and accepting the need for change (“Don’t Want To Know”).

Named after the United Kingdom’s emergency telephone number, 999 was founded in London during 1976 by Nick Cash and Guy Days. They released 14 singles and 12 studio albums between 1978 and 2007. Between 1978 and 1981 five of their singles landed in the Top 75 on the UK Singles Chart. Their internationally known punk rock anthem “Homicide” ended up breaking the Top 40.

In addition, it has been featured on numerous soundtracks including Shameless, Grand Theft Auto IV, The Killing of America, and Too Old to Die Young. As a result of extensive touring in the United States in the early ‘80s, the band’s third and fourth studio albums The Biggest Prize In Sport and Concrete charted on the Billboard 200. To date, the band has completed 17 U.S. tours, 54 UK tours, 37 European tours, and 137 gigs in London.

999 is Nick Cash (vocals, guitar), Guy Days (guitar), Arturo Bassick (bass), and Stoo Meadows (drums). The band plans to tour throughout North America and Europe after the current pandemic is over.
