North side Dublin indie bands???

evani1976

walking around dublin recently brought me back to my teenage years listening to great irish bands all from the North Dublin area, i'm thinking of whipping boy, rollerskate skinny, sack, power of dreams, revenants, a house, bawl, the pale, in motion, brilliant trees, revelino and mexican pets, i'm probably after leaving out another half dozen .

All the above bands were totally individual, literate, political, full of anger and intelligence.

i'm sounding a bit like jimmy rabbitte now but i suppose i'm wondering where are the new generation, especially now that the country is gone to the dogs,

John Doe1

U2?

The Rags are from Finglas I think?

Dublin's so small it's silly to restrict a thread to North Dublin bands.

Jape is from Crumlin, he/they are great.

A Disgrace

A House and Power of Dreams are from the Southside (Walkinstown/Templeogue)

Leaders of Men from Tallaght are worth checking out.

Birneybau

White MacKenzie, mostly from Tallaght, are pretty good.

If people want to suggest their own bands then please go to the Band Promotion forum.

No more in this thread, thanks.
