HCK9
Biography
HCK9 aka Half Cut K9 is an electronic alt-rock project written and fronted by northerner James Brown. HCK9 creates their own nutritious blend of electronic and alternative genres, weaving them together to create a cinematic, sci fi experience with an enraged emo twist. Twenty One Pilots, Placebo and Nine Inch Nails are all inspirations that can be heard in his music, but these are executed with his own unique HCK9 googles on. Inspired by the toxically dystopian nature of our lives, HCK9 aims to “tell it how he sees it.” The veracious lyrics and electrifying vocals are cleverly combined with a heavy yet modern industrial production that will make you want to save the world or end it.
