Have to say really enjoyed Jape and redneck manifesto, world class.
But what about our northern friends???? Loads of great music coming out of there!
Recommend yous have a listen to The Clone quartet, Mary's Great Idea, Jedi Jane Cocaine Explosion (if you like at the drive in etc... they are savage), the Debonares (formally volvograd). Pandakopanda are a brilliant alternative emo-y band.

Played with (retards) in the Voodoo. They made the most of a poor turnout to play a real head **** of a gig, savage lads.

hada

the rags. what a great band imo

dearheart

Why buy a BellX1 album when you can toss a urinated mattress off the top of Liberty Hall & hear the exact same noise as it lands squelchily on the street below, crushing a tramp on it's way?

Dublin needs to get it's ****ing act together.

blu_sonic

lol so true bell end 1 suck ass
