Formerly Misinformed‘s latest single, “nine of ten,” dives into personal change and self-improvement in a refreshingly straightforward way. Following the success of “Stop the Tape” earlier this year, the Texas-based family band continues to craft songs that reverberate with honest and lived experiences. Frontman Brandon Green handles both the songwriting and production, delivering a track that’s not only lyrically compelling but also musically sharp.
One standout feature of “nine of ten” is the incredible guitar solo by Dublin-based guitarist Ian Wardle, better known as Mr. Wardle on social media. His contribution adds a unique flair to the song by injecting it with energy and emotion that elevate it beyond typical indie fare.
The song tackles the everyday struggle to become a better version of yourself, while acknowledging the challenges and routines that can make that change seem impossible. It’s relatable in its simplicity and offers a message of hope and resilience without falling into cliché.
With a strong family dynamic, including Brandon’s sisters Erica Jones and Emily Henney, and their father Terry Green, Formerly Misinformed brings an authentic sound to the indie scene. “nine of ten” showcases their growth as a band, hinting at what’s to come on their highly anticipated sophomore album, set for 2025.
