B9 (formerly Benign) is more than just another face in the local LA music scene crowd. Hailing from Santa Clarita, they bring more than just energy and entertainment to the young, wide-eyed kids who make up the pop/punk scene. With hard-hitting beats and comical lyrics backed by catchy melodies and a driving voice; their music is a fun relief to the intense metal and sappy boy bands that have invaded the airwaves.
Forming back in early 1999, most of them grew up in the small town of Santa Clarita, but have always been a part of the Los Angeles music scene. In the beginning, they were sneaking into clubs that they were too young to be at and now they are headlining those same spots.
"Taking Out the Trash" is their sophomore release and follow-up to the critically acclaimed album "Home Sweet Home." Mixed and mastered by David Bianco (Santana, AFI, Butch Walker) this album is a huge step towards stardom. They are emerging as one of the freshest and most exciting punk/pop bands in recent memory. B9 puts together aggressively catchy rock choruses and brings explosive energy and entertainment to the live stage. Their influences run from Green Day to Bad Religion to Elvis Costello to the Toy Dolls. It's early 1970's punk rock meets 2002 power pop.
B9 is making an impact worldwide via the Internet, TV, and local press. They were a featured artist on Farmclub.com, have a live show critically acclaimed by numerous of the local papers including Mean Street, Music Connection, and No Cover; held a constant top 20 spot on MP3.com; have their music played on MTV's "Real World/Road Rules Challenge" along with MTV Sports; and their demo was even picked as one of Music Connection's "Top Demos of 2000." They are currently one of the top bands in their genre and have created quite a buzz with the help of their strong and loyal fan base who are spreading the word quickly.
With numerous labels watching their every move, "Taking Out the Trash" is sure to spark some industry interest, great press and draw in more fans. B9 will continue to write their infectious songs and perform the energetic shows they are so well known for.
