999 - Slam
Review by Nelson Jacobsen
Slam, the fifth studio album by the British punk rock band 999, is a collection of fast-paced, high-energy tracks that capture the band's signature sound. Released in 1986, the album features eleven songs that showcase the band's musical versatility and lyrical prowess.
From the opening track "Inside Out" to the closing number "Stop! Stop!", Slam delivers a relentless barrage of punk rock anthems that are sure to get listeners jumping and moshing. The album's standout tracks include "Li'l Red Riding Hood", a catchy tune with a driving beat and infectious chorus, and "Fun Thing", a high-octane track that features some impressive guitar work.

About 999
999 are an English punk rock band, formed in London in December, 1976. From the period of 1976 to 1985, the line-up of 999 consisted of Nick Cash (vocals, guitar - real name Keith Lucas, not to be confused with Nicholas John Cash), Guy Days (lead guitar), Jon Watson (bass guitar) and Pablo LaBrittain (drums). (As a result of injuries sustained in a motor accident, LaBrittain was temporarily replaced by drummer Ed Case aka Paul Edwards in 1980.) Jon Watson left the band in 1985; being replaced by Danny Palmer, who remained with the band until 1991. Palmer was replaced by Arturo Bassick, who remains the bass guitarist with 999 to this date.
Between 1978 and 2007, 999 released fourteen singles and twelve studio albums. Five of the singles released by 999 between 1978 and 1981 charted within the Top 75 in the UK Singles Chart, with one further single released by 999 in 1978, Homicide, charting within the Top 40. In addition, as a result of extensive touring in the United States in the early 1980s, the band's third and fourth studio albums: The Biggest Prize in Sport and Concrete, each charted on the U.S. Billboard 200.
Despite having formed in 1976, 999 have only experienced two permanent changes to their original line-up and has continued to record and play live to the present day, leading AllMusic to describe the band as "one of the longest-lived groups of the punk era."
