9 Mile Roots @9mileroots. They followed TCA on Twitter, I followed back and immediately listened to their song 'Believe' from their "And the Rest Will Follow" album (nine songs, released June 1, 2010 - I know right?? Over three years ago, where the fug have I been?) and was hooked. It seduced the inner me; the substance of the words. I felt being spoken to. Call me crazy, but in the past week I've read my "Kismet, My Friend" post everyday to reinforce my determination to obtain a Beautiful Life, and the moment I heard 'Believe' I knew Kismet was connecting with me.
"Yes you gotta believe in yourself one time
and retrieve from the mind dedication
I support you, I believe in you."
"Yes we live in this society,
with anxiety, definitely a variety of
hatred and remorse, guilt, evil is the source
put your right foot forward
take a breath and get your life on course."
Yes, their music is very roots, rock, reggae, and ska ('Bartender' - making me skank even!). Needless to say, I listened to the rest of their songs throughout the day and can honestly say I got the same excited feeling I had when I discovered and fell in love with 311. I did indeed buy both their albums on Amazon and plan to get merch when their new designs and 'ladies' cut shirts are available in bountiful amounts (hopefully they consider ladies form fitting tank tops too, hint hint).
Check them out, not just Excitables, those of you who enjoy music or maybe you want to try some new music genres, give them a listen.
Here's another from the 'And the Rest Will Follow' album:
"Bartender"
(this is the one that made me skank the entire song!)
Here are a couple of my faves from their newest studio release - LIME EP:
"Simplify"
"Windows Down"
If you keep up with my blog you may see why the following song I feel deep inside...
"Something More (with lyrics)"
I also like 'Another Level' but they didn't have a video. You can listen here, it's song number 6.
9 Mile Roots titillates my ears, rocks my body with their beats and melodies but also touches my heart with their words. The one thing important to me however, is how their music as a whole charges my mind and fuels my soul.
TCA loves 9 Mile Roots!
