Saw them live twice, thought they were absolutely terrible both times. The singer just cannot sing in my opinion

I think your right in what you say about them not been good live but i think maybe one of these times was an early slot at Slane ? Often times as you know , festival sound can be poor and because they were a new band they may not have had great engineers. I have to say I ike his voice alot but it has been swallowed up by poor sound at gigs. Im hoping things will be good tonight in the academy.

Yea Slane and opening for Muse the year before in Marley Park, I know both poor venues sound wise, but even on the album versions I cannot stand his voice

Duno how I only heard about this gig earlier today! Would love to be going, but got a big athletics race in the morning and moshing around like a looney tonight wouldnt be good ha! I've seen them live twice before, at Slane, which was also one of the 1st times i hard heard them ever, and they were amazing, such a cool loud festival sound to them!! Next time was when they supported U2 in Croker, and whereas they were savage at that, the crowd was totally rubbish and full of middle aged people who just wanted to see U2 ha. Hope they come back again soon!!

Enjoyed the gig last night. The sound was good and band seemed well in to it. Big crowd there who were good. Played alot of the new album which for the most part sounded good.

For anyone that missed them, they are playing Oxegen this June.
