We’ve heard a lot of interesting band formation stories here at Noisecreep, but we can safely say that Nine Left Dead’s tale takes the cake. The Oklahoma hard rock outfit got its start in 2008 when frontman Travis Jones met bassist Jared Ellis while they were both working as prison guards at a maximum-security penitentiary.

Since then, Nine Left Dead grew into a five piece and eventually won the Rock U Live Kattfest Band Beatdown in Oklahoma City, beating out over 100 other bands. As part of the prize package, the band received the honor of being one of the first bands to record at Bar Code Studios, owned by multi-platinum Hinder drummer and songwriter Cody Hanson.
