New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Canadian post-hardcore punk-pop rocker Chris Nine unleashes a blistering blast of bone-crushing adrenaline in the form of his new single, "the rage". The new supercharged single lands ahead of the Toronto-based artist's forthcoming EP, The Heavy, due out this Fall.
"the rage" is a harrowing opus that unveils the duality of love and the consequences of our actions. This viewpoint puts the listener's experience front and center, creating a connection using emotionally complex themes while embedding them within expertly produced music you wouldn't typically hear from a newer artist.

"I show up, a fight last night was what you
Had to call it
I'm so sorry, I'm still lonely
Can this be our moment"
Chris Nine's poignant lyrics act as a two-way musical mirror held up to his listeners in an attempt to engage on a more personal level; stripping away all ego and pride, he takes a raw and honest approach with his sonic storytelling.
