Nine By Nine - The Fletcher Pratt (US)

Label:	Laughing Outlaw / Rainbow Quartz Records
Released:	2002
Highlights:	Electrocute! Spin Label Change Million Miles
Rating:	6.5/10

Nine By Nine is the debut album for Detroit band, The Fletcher Pratt, who it seems have since disbanded. On Nine By Nine they play what you could call energetic power pop with quite a few sixties influences also infiltrating the mix, not unlike a cross between Elvis Costello, The Byrds and The Who. Their strong rhythm section helps lift the band above your average independent-pop band but I’m not impressed with either of the band’s overly nasal vocalists. This is a shame because they have some good songs, which don’t really come across as strong as they could have.
