Manchester, England's Nine Black Alps features Sam Forrest (vocals/guitar), James Galley (drums/vocals), Martin Cohen (bass), and David Jones (guitar). The indie tilt little Joe came together in 2003, taking their cite from a personal line of credit in the Sylvia Plath poem "The Couriers." Two eld later, Nine Black Alps inked a record deal with Island in the U.K. Their debut album, Everything Is, arrived that June. A U.S. record deal with Interscope and a self-titled EP followed in July. Tours with the Kaiser Chiefs, Hard-Fi, and Weezer as advantageously as fete appearances at Glastonbury, T in the Park, Reading, and Leeds coincided with the succeeder of such Top 40 singles as "Stab Down," "Non Everyone," "Ungratified," and "Just Friends." Produced by Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith, the Vines), Everything Is was released stateside in February 2006, and a limited six-song EP, Sparkle Gulch, came out shortly later. West Coast dates with Social Distortion followed that summer. Their instant album, Love/Hate, was released in October 2007.
