Amazon.com They may seem like the latest in an endless line of overnight sensations, but San Francisco foursome Stroke 9 have been playing together for over 10 years. They formed the group as a high-school senior project, and jammin' 'n' groovin' since their teens has given Stroke 9 the kind of musical chemistry many outfits only dream of. Theirs is a story similar to that of teen-sensation-turned-multiplatinum rock band Live, and appropriately, Stroke 9 worked with Live producer (and ex-Talking Heads keyboardist) Jerry Harrison on their debut album, Nasty Little Thoughts. An upbeat collection of strummy rockers and jangly ballads, the album combines the earnestness of a band like R.E.M. with the hook-laden songcraft of acts like the Connells and the Counting Crows. Luke Esterkyn's vocals are consistently emotional without sacrificing melody, and guitarist John McDermott coaxes a rainbow of textures and tones from his instrument without straying from the simple core rhythms of the songs. But most importantly, Stroke 9's energetic pop is utterly infectious, making songs like "City Life" and "Little Black Backpack" echo through your head long after you click off the CD player. --Jon Wiederhorn Similar CDs

CD ReviewsThis Disc is Awsome Curtis Munsey | Southern California | 03/02/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first borrowed this CD from a friend of mine after he told me that they were the ones that sang Little Black Backpack. I guess he was sick of me asking who the group was. Anyway, I played the disc and was surprised that I liked as many songs as I did. Usually the only song that's good is the one they play on the radio, but not in this case. After keeping my friends disc for a month or two he took it from me, quite forcibly and so I went out and bought it right away. My neighbors in my dorm are pretty sick of me playing that disc all the time, but some day they'll realize the greatness of Stroke 9. I can't wait for their next album. I love all the songs but like someone else said I really like tracks 1, 3 and 5." Keep on strokin' nigel | Maryland | 12/08/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Finally--a band for the mid-20 somethings who have been lost for years in the music scene. Nowadays, all we hear on so-called "alternative rock" stations is this punk/rap/noise that all the teenages love. This CD is chock full of harmonious tunes with a very slight 80's alternative influence. Definitely worth buying."
