999

999 are an English punk rock band formed in London in December 1976. The original lineup consisted of *Nick Cash* (vocals, guitar), *Guy Days* (lead guitar), *Jon Watson* (bass guitar), and *Pablo LaBrittain* (drums). Over the years, there have been a few changes to the lineup, with Danny Palmer replacing Jon Watson in 1985 and Arturo Bassick taking over as bass guitarist from Palmer.

Between 1978 and 2007, 999 released fourteen singles and twelve studio albums. Their music gained popularity, with five singles charting within the Top 75 in the UK Singles Chart. One of their singles, "Homicide," even reached the Top 40. The band's third and fourth studio albums, "The Biggest Prize in Sport" and "Concrete," also made it onto the U.S. Billboard 200 due to their extensive touring in the United States during the early '80s.

Despite being formed over four decades ago, *999* has only had two permanent changes to their original lineup. They continue to record new music and perform live shows today, making them one of the longest-lived groups from the punk era according to AllMusic.
