The debut album by 9Lies has been given a 'Fine Fine' boost by a stack of major Northern Irish and International Radio Stations! The title track 'Behind It All' was described by Downtown Radio DJ Johnny Hero (apart from the above!) as '9Lies, Sounding absolutely Brilliant!' with International acclaim coming from the U.S. in the form of DJ Khiki Kavanagh on the Indie Limelight show, with listeners in excess of 5 million, who has now found 'A new favourite band in 9Lies', Following that came Radio Ulsters play of 'Too Late' where music critic Deci Gallen, described 9Lies as 'a crusade as much as a band' for our standing against POP PAP! Followed again by U105's spin of Track 3 from the album, 'Blind' at the hands of Paul Boyd and last but not least were 'Slippin Aways' plays by Sonya Mac on 97.4 Cool FM and Robin Elliot on 96.7 Citybeat. And they are just a few that we know about!

9Lies Lead singer, and cousin of Kildare singer/songwriter Damien Rice, Steve Mann announced 'We hit on a few truly amazing sounds on that album which were raw, but yet a lot more melodic than anything else we had ever done in the past. The album is a mix of studio rock and melody driven dreams, which have been made all the more exciting with the media and public seemingly loving the songs as much as we do!'

Its an exciting time for the 9Lies crew.The pre-album release mini tour, that has seen us travel the length and breadth of Northern Ireland has now ended : (But oddly enough its not all doom and gloom, because the album is due for release across the globe digitally from iTunes and the likes from July 3rd, this will also coincide with availability in 2,500 record stores in the USA!The new albums has already had 5 different tracks played on at least six Major Northern Irish radio stations and a vast arrey of International terrestrial and satellite stations, and its not even released yet!These include the tracks known as 'Slippin Away', which got a welcomed spin on 'Cool Fm 97.4' before the water shed despite the lyrics 'Ahh Let me cum all over you' still being included, DOH! We also had the title track from the album, 'Behind It All' on Downtown Radio, thanks to DJ Johnny Hero who came to see us play LIVE in Newry, he then went on to describe the song as none less than 'Brilliant!' it was also played across the USA on the Indie Limelight radio show followed by 'the Gap' on Sky, and leaving those three up tempo demons on the back burner for a moment, Radio Ulster Broadcast the Ballady 'Too Late' describing us as 'A crusade as much as a rock band' for our stand against POP PAP! But I call that just pure sanity! and last but not least 'Blind' has had several spins now on U105 fm.Meanwhile back at 9Lies HQ, everyone's getting fired up about some new songs that are not even on this album, and on my part that focus is on a great track called 'We are One' your in for a treat! for Stoogie (Stevie Skins) and Chris, its got to be 'Heaven is here' and I think Dave and Nick are right behind the aptly named 'Truth will Out' Do you feel album 2 coming on??? or a Film sound track??? stay tuned!!We are due to hit the studio with these and more new songs with top Irish music producer Gary Aitken around August.It doesn't get much better than this Ted!
