9 O’Clock Nasty, the iconic trio from Leicester, are back with their new single “5 Foot 2.” A killer track, so good it might require a search party to find your sanity after listening. Tackling the delicate subject of love in a not-so-delicate way and an unexpected celebration of orangutan escapology—whatever that is!—this song is an absolute banger that’ll leave you wondering if you just stepped into a zoo or a Crime TV show.
It’s always a challenge to try and put into words what The Nasty are trying to say on their songs. Honestly, I’m not convinced they know what they’re on about either half the time! But that’s the delightful chaos behind every one of their tracks. You can’t just waltz in with a logical brain; you’ve got to go full-on brave adventurer into the wacky universe of this hilariously dysfunctional boyband!

“5 Foot 2” is a single that doesn’t just come with bizarre lyrics flicking through serial killer references like Kenneth Allen but also struts in with a beat so powerful it practically steals the spotlight and maybe even your wallet. Seriously, this might just be the best instrumental the Nasty have come up with. It showcases a mature sound that’s been simmering nicely after years of musical grilling.
Heavy, precise, slow-paced. Am I talking about a beat or the charmingly lazy Orangutan? What do these furry philosophers have to do with all this? Beats me! Is this one of the quirkiest reviews I’ve ever penned? You’re the judge! It’s always a circus with these guys. If chaos had a mascot, it would definitely be the Nasty swinging from the trees!
But that’s exactly why we’re head over heels for 9 o’clock Nasty, and trust us, you should be too! This track is a total knee-slapper, a real banger—Beastie Boys-esque. It’s brutal, bizarre, and comically captivating, just what your therapist recommended for those less-than-happy days!
