    Because when I was making it I had never heard of them. What are they like?

    Kickass! They bill themselves as a Ska band but that's like the way The Police billed themselves as a reggae band. You can hear it but that's not all that's there.

    they're an originals (and covers?) band from dublin like many many others. I dont think they've done anything to warrant being on that list. Ive seen them on grafton street a couple of times..

    any links to good songs they have?

    There's a band called the Funeral Suits who are no more. Not exactly my type of music but deserving of a place on that list ahead of others IMO.

    They were signed to Rubyworks along with bands like The Minutes, who are also worth a mention.

    They were produced by Stephen Street who worked with Blur and The Smiths

    Their song All These Friendly People has 20 million views on youtube and seemed to strike a chord with many. Great video to it.

    It's weird how they were never really hyped up in Irish media but they had a cult following overseas.

    Forgot to mention The Urges.

    great band who also had a cult following and were cited by Andrew Loog Oldham (ex Stones manager) as being one of the best to come out of ireland.

    They might have been a year or two before 2010 though.

    Buffalo Sunn are decent too.

    Would have voted for Girl Band but, alas, not on the poll.

    Voted for Villagers as Becoming a Jackal was a great album. And nod and a wink to Le Galaxie for being a fun live band.

    Probably the best live band for me in Ireland. They make some sound for a 3 piece and the drummer with only a floor tom and a ride cymbal is amazing.

    I saw them at Hunters Moon festival in Carrick On Shannon around 2012 when they played in the church. There was between 8 to 10 of them that day performing for the set. Started off with just the guitarist playing a simple groove and then everyone joining in over 45 mins to a crescendo and then all dropping out individually until it was just the guitarist playing the same simple groove to end. One of the best gigs i've ever seen.

    That sounds amazing. I've been listening to them for a couple of years but haven't had a chance to see them play live yet.

    For fans of the sadly disbanded Little Green Cars all but Stevie have formed a new group called Soda Blond. Can't wait to hear what they sound like - they're on the Late Late Show tomorrow night I think.

    Of the ones I listed here, Otherkin or The Strypes would personally be my favourite.

    Reminds me of that group The Osteoprorosists. Wannabe hipsters strive as they might though you can distinctly hear the hip pop

    Rapping as Gaeilge is quite different, and I like that.
