    You forgot Saviours of Space, a good band compared to the rest.

    Yeah, fantastic band. Not only are they excellent musicians but they have really catchy songs as well.

    People need to stop suggesting non-indie bands for the top 5 indie bands in Ireland. If you don't know or like any Irish indie bands, there is no point in replying.

    Fight Like Apes
    Grand Pocket Orchestra
    So Cow
    Bats
    Dublin Duck Dispensary

    Turn
    bran'do
    The Crayonz
    La Rocca
    The Immediate

    and I'll throw in Redneck Manifesto, because of the stuff I've heard they sound pretty good. Also, I don't think any of my 5 exist anymore, except La Rocca but the newer stuff doesn't sound so good...

    Do you know what i love about this whole thread is that certain people (me not included, cause i didnt think of 'em) are mentioning a band called Hooray for humans, these guys were posting a request for a new drummer only a matter of weeks ago on this very site. Does anyone else think that is very rock and roll or is it just me? God i love that whole aspect of music. One day a nobody the next a drummer in a band that have just released an album that in my humble opinion is well for lack of a better word "class". I mean come on, 06 forever, CCCCHHHOOOOOONNN. Sorry im very drunk

    you think thats funny? they set themselves up about a year ago with exactly the same sort of advert. WANTED BAND (pretty much). anyone with a bit of talent could potentially have been in the band. why didnt i apply!
    the song signature is class as well.

    Eh, to be fair, the drummer they ended up going with was someone they already knew from a band they had toured with (Ghostwood Project)!

    Yeah it's a great song alright. I think the new song uploaded lately, 'Say what you said' is better though, real energy in it and it's great sing-a-long song

    Yeah they are definitely. The last time I saw them was a headline gig (no support) in DeBurgos on a Saturday night and that was pretty packed. They pulled off a great show that night. They also put 'House party afterwards' on their gig flyers and posters, that's always gonna pull in the crowds too;)

    I think its a really good time to be a muso in ireland with the amazing amount of Quality coming up over the last few months.

    My five tips for the top!


    The Kanyu Tree

    - Uneral Band, Easy listening a mix between teenage fan club and the jackson 5.... im serious!

    The Barricades

    - Great musicians, Really catchy indie Tunes and the best live show i'v ever seen!

    The Hot Sprockets

    - Hillbilly rock, Feel good tunes much to the style of kings of leon, Sounds like Fun times, never seen there live show though

    Doctor Pavement

    - Great songs, Front man has an amazing voice, Really fresh sound! hail from Tallaght

    Murder of Crows

    - Cock rock at its finest - Check them out!


    Get to see these bands, Especially the first two, I promise you will enjoy!

    fight like apes just go over my head.

    i don't get the whole reliance on novelty and comedy even though they have some good tunes. it makes it hard for me to take them seriously.

    there prob aren't 5 good indie bands in ireland. i've only heard selected snippets from fight like apes and although they are good, for some reason i don't hold too much hope for them. the rags are prob the best around and how would you class republic of loose? if they are indie, i like them too.

    sad rant aside, melaton are still the best irish band i've ever heard. does anyone know where i can get their music? those were the days

    Regarding The Republic of Loose it really depends on your definition of "indie".
    If your talking music then in comparison to what we generally regard as indie nowadays I would say no, they are not an indie band.

    If your talking about the spirit of "indie" then I would say deinitally yes.
    Infact much more so than some bands that have been mentioned on this thread as they are an independent outfit that release their own music as apposed to being signed to a label.
