When you live through the wreckage, you earn the right to sing like you’ve survived. Alt-rock songstress Bee Blackwell lets her claws show on the release of her fiercely personal new EP, Nine Lives. Written and self-produced during a transformative sabbatical, and recorded in just three days at the legendary Sonic Ranch, "Nine Lives" is Bee’s most refined and soul-searching project to date. A collision of ‘90s alt-rock nostalgia and 2000s emo vulnerability, the four-track collection weaves together fuzzed-out guitars, hypnotic percussion, and lyrics rooted in survival and self-reinvention. Critics and media outlets are saying:
AUSTIN CHRONICLE: Bee Blackwell re-creates the rumble and jangle of Nineties alt-rock with the studied perfection of an artist who grew up with the MTV generation... The singer crafts sunny, radio-ready singles and fuzzy, introspective numbers in equal measure.
LUNA COLLECTIVE: Sonically, the project blends atmospheric guitar lines, steady percussive grooves, and a touch of early-2000s emo nostalgia. Lyrically, Nine Lives explores emotional wounds, transformation, and resilience—offering Bee’s most introspective work to date.
TURN AND WORK: Nine Lives is a tight, hook-filled nod to mid-’90s alt-rock. It’s a confident record that sounds both nostalgic and fresh.
Bee’s musical journey, from posting emo covers online to debuting at SXSW and releasing her 2023 EP Calico, has blossomed into something truly fearless. Now, she’s hitting the road across Texas, with release shows set in Houston, Denton, and Austin. Don’t miss your chance to catch "Nine Lives" in full volume.
