The four members of I Nine have been playing together for three years, though all the members have known each other since they were very young, having all grown up in Orangeburg, South Carolina. “Growing up in a town where kids mostly went to private school, we all went to public school which is where we met and have stayed close friends,” describes the group’s charismatic lead singer, Carmen Keigans.
Carmen and band mates Bryan Gibson (lead guitar, cello) and Matt Heath (bass) previously played together in a local band that broke up in 2004. Shortly thereafter, they hooked up with fellow musician Brian Whitman (guitar), who had known Carmen and her family growing up. “I usually played guitar by myself but when their band broke up, the wheels in my head started turning,” remembers Whitman, who was a regular at their shows. “They were just too good not to be playing anymore.”
The songs came fast and furious during their first session. “We just clicked,” says Whitman, and within a few weeks, they had written a dozen songs. The band played shows mostly in nearby Columbia, South Carolina and it was clear that their heartfelt rock sound was too large to be contained by such small geography. In a quandary faced by many in small-towns, the four had to decide whether to stay in Columbia or move to another, larger town for a real shot at pursuing their passion. “We knew we had something there, the chemistry was clear,” says Carmen. “It was really a do or die moment.”

Carmen does indeed have Avril's voice! The similarity is actually scary.

They literally sound like "Faber Drive" combined with Jewel. The sound is shamelessly commercial, but well done. Not bad at all :)

I agree with shawanu. Lindsay's is okay, but I Nine's kicks ass. The vocals are way better. She goes much higher, and doesn't screw up on the lower parts.

I hope "Black Hole" becomes a single!

(Radio Edit) is not part of the title. iTunes is never a good way to find out correct ID3 tags. It's actually a horrible way. They are a lot of times incorrect. And besides http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=278701179&s=143441 it doesn't say (Radio Edit) now anyway.

I liked Lindsay Lohan's song but I Nine's Black Hole is ten times better - somehow, the subtle change in the lyrics and the way it's sung make it work for me. I'm halfway through the album and I love it so far !
