ALBUM: Nine Black Alps - Love/Hate
(Island)
THE unrefined rocking Nine Black Alps of the first album had a thorn in their side.
They were the younger, sharper Brit siblings of Nirvana, thumping out great big rock tracks with grit in their eyes.
How refreshing, then, that the follow-up is so much calmer. Really - it's a magnificent thing that the Manchester three-piece have worked their way out of rock also-ran consignment.
Their new-found maturity has led them to produce an album of thought-provoking, accomplished songs with heart, balls and - most unnervingly - melodies.
