Since their inception in 2003 Nine Black Alps have developed a reputation for their loud and aggressive yet melodic music that echoes the sounds of American alternative rock bands such as Nirvana, Pixies and Dinosaur Jr. The band were signed to Island Records who released the albums 'Everything Is' (2005) and 'Love/Hate' (2007) and also an EP of B-sides called 'Glitter Gulch' (2006).

In 2007 the band left Island Records but continued to tour the UK until February 2008, when Nine Black Alps began work on their third album. The new album, entitled 'Locked out from the Inside' was recorded with producer Dave Eringa during the winter of 2008/2009, and is due for release in the autumn this year.

The first release from the album was a new track called 'Buy Nothing', which within hours of its release on NME.com was downloaded more than any other track the NME have ever featured.

Following this success, Nine Black Alps will visit The Priory, Doncaster on July 18 to promote the new single and the forthcoming new album. 

Support comes from hotly tipped Bicycle Thieves, last seen with the Rascals during Doncaster Music Week 09 and local lads The Thieves.
