Let's get the debate started... who's your top five right now???? I'm talking unsigned / breaking acts, next big things.

I'll stick my neck out:

Halves
Blue Syndrome
The Distractors

In no particular order!

no plugs!
it's personal taste... your top five

silverdarcy

Syllian Rayle
Red Dancers Cometh
Red Enemy
Cold Trigger
Chemical Addiction

iamhunted

it'd be a pretty limited list if its confined to Dublin only - otherwise I'd say GAMAK, Stoned Developments, Horray for Humans, Pocket Promise, Bill Coleman

Good point
And good choices, though i think there's definitely Northern bands doing more exciting stuff than pocket promise

OLP

Paranoid Visions
Moutpiece
Dropping Bombs
Razortown

Pete Doherty

Blue syndrome suck balls.

Theyre balls famished those lads.

I'd like Dead Celebrities too if I was in that band.


I honestly couldn't name five bands I liked that I've seen in Dublin, though I heard Halves, they sound pretty good. Not usually my thing, but Ria Czerniak is a cool singer-songwriter type, check her out if that floats your boat.
