Press Reviews The Nines intent is pretty well summed up by the title of their CD The Last Days of AM Radio. Think of some mythical AM station from the late '70s that's still playing a lot of Buddy Holly and British Invasion and has just started throwing in some punk? the sort of station Joey Ramone was singing about in "Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio." That station couldn't have a better program director than Nines frontman Evan Shore, whose songwriting has an "all hits, all the time" sensibility.?BOSTON PHOENIX
