YOU could be excused for presuming its name was a tribute to a legendary Beatles' song.
But Track Nine insists there is nothing particularly creative about it.
Guitarist David Bain told Scene: "It was just a random idea we had — there's not really much of a story behind it".
The new-age punk rock quartet members met several years ago. David was a classmate of ex-Castlehead high pupil Chris Davidson (synth), and bassist Calumn Coots and Brett Jackson (drums) knew each other from Gryffe high school.
David (21) revealed: "Calumn and I have been playing together for five years now, and Track Nine has existed for about two".
But despite being old friends, the boys have some conflicting musical influences.
David explained: "We listen to a range of things, but take our sound from bands like Blink 182 and FallOut Boy. But I'll have to add Gary Numan. Chris considers him a big influence — even though we sound nothing like him".
But Track Nine doesn't reserve its creativity exclusively for the studio. Having concentrated on music at school, David now studies music technology at the university of the West of Scotland, and Calumn is an art student in Glasgow.
David told Scene: "I really liked music at school and started playing guitar when I was quite young so it just grew from there".
Track Nine usually plays the Glasgow and Paisley circuit, but has ventured further afield to such places as Aberdeen and Dundee.
You can catch Track Nine closer to home, at Soho in Paisley tomorrow.
The free show starts at 8pm.
