After spending the last 10+ years releasing tunes in The Decline, Australia's answer to the 90's Californian skate-punk movement, Pat Decline has announced something he's been threatening to do for a while now - a debut solo acoustic record entitled Nine Lives.
Nine Lives contains nine stripped back, acoustic folk punk songs reminiscent of artists such has Jeff Rosenstock, Frank Turner, Dan P, Joe McMahon and Brendan Kelly, whilst not deviating too far from the songwriting style which The Decline have become known for.
Nine Lives features additional musicianship from members of Nerdlinger, Vetty Vials, Ess-Em & even Dave Berry or as they are all jokingly being referred to for this album "Pat Decline & The Cat Haven Volunteers"

The mining skyline’s the first thing that you see, construction sites say they’re not the enemy, and once a year they put up signs for their footy teams.
Flying solo, just gliding over Greed, bright lights shining, lighting up the homeless streets, and once a year we all pick a favourite footy team
The oceans just down the road, but I never make time to go - what the fuck’s wrong with me? Maybe in a couple days, but my youth’s slipping away right in front of me.
Run away, we can ride the plastic seas, get lost together in psycho-social imagery. Or shed your skin, come on and kill the past with me,
You can lose it, I see you carrying around, dragging your coffin, your dead weight, we’re all anchored to this town.

The mining skyline’s the first thing that you see, construction sites, will say they’re not the enemy, we’re not the enemy. The mining skyline’s the first thing that you see - bright lights shining, lighting up the homeless streets, and the ocean’s just down the road, and I’m never gonna go.
Kick ass EP. I’m a big fan of No Trigger’s whole catalog but this EP harkins back to the good ‘ol Canyoneer days and man is it refreshing. Vocals are killer as always and the band continues to rock razor sharp guitar melodies that never get convoluted. Okay stop reading this and go support these guys. Don
This is a damn fine release. It feels genuine; at times even emotional (in a good way). It's fun and witty while also being pissed off in all the right ways. It's political, critical, and nonconformist. Yet it still manages to feel original in an arguably oversaturated genre. Nicholas Whittemore
