" Band names usually have a significant meaning. We learned that&amp;#039;s not the case for I Nine when they stopped by the Seventeen offices for an exclusive performance. Carmen, I Nine&amp;#039;s lead singer, was very open in revealing that the band&amp;#039;s name doesn&amp;#039;t have a significant meaning \u2014 but that doesn&amp;#039;t mean it&amp;#039;s not special. &amp;quot;We have become I Nine. We are I Nine,&amp;quot; she adds. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not like Carmen, Matt, Bryan, and Brian flows.&amp;quot; Many I Nine fans have tried to decode the meaning of the name too. Carmen said fans have asked her if I Nine comes from &amp;quot;I&amp;quot; being the ninth letter of the alphabet, or referring to Interstate 9, or even a reference to a book by Kurt Vonnegut, all of which they get a kick out of hearing. The South Carolina natives met each other around ages 6 and 7 at the neighborhood pool in their home state, but starting a band (and getting signed and touring) wasn&amp;#039;t at all expected. And now, with the help of iTunes, I Nine&amp;#039;s debut album, Heavy Weighs the King, is available on the Web. We loved I Nine so much, we even included their song &amp;quot;If This Room Could Move&amp;quot; in our register to vote videos. (Have you registered yet?) Check out I Nine&amp;#039;s music, and don&amp;#039;t forget to let us know what you think below! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
