Annual end of year eirecore awards thread................................. (1 Viewer)

[bohs punks]

Sure its a tradition...... post your own awards /catogories etc

Best New Irish band – The Objectorz

Best New overseas Band – No More Art

Best Irish Band – Section 4 – really moved it up a notch this year

Best Overseas band – Headlesss Kross – Amazing every time ive seen them.

Best Zine – Big birds NZ zine – the mans questions alone are worth the award – irish issue needed!

Best TV Show– The Boss – amazing acting from Kelsey Grammer

Best TV channel – Sky Arts

Best irish diy gig – Easpa Measa last gig in Bohs – by a mile

Best touring diy gig – Peligro in Cork

Best other gig – Melodica Deathship in waterford

Best irish festival – Fesant Fest – great buzz all day

Best non irish fest – GGI Glasgow – friendly out!

Most out of it attempting to play a gig - Found on The Floor at First of The summer wine festival

Best new developments – more byob gigs – galway, dublin, belfast , new ross etc : a byob irish tour is pretty much do-able, lots of actual current punk bands with planned tours of irleland in 2013 rather than
just 30 year old revival bands – we all love an old band from time to time but theres a limit, the re-birth of the Cork punk scene.

Best radio show- Derek Moutpiece on Radioactive

Best Irish album - Putrefaction – Blood Cult

 

[Scythe Chaos]

Best Irish Band: Excuses
Most Determined Band: Pimps And Gimps (hands hacked with axes, stabbings, near dismemberment)
Most Dysfunctional Band: Corrosive Machine (Not sure how many wives they've divorced this year...)
Best Drunken Performance: Found On The Floor at First Of The Summer Wine (Rooster was completely passed out until he was meant to go on stage, and then he was mental! Entire band was fairly pissed)
Best Launch Gig: Fag Enablerz
Best Gig: Heavy Metal Vomit Party
Second Best Gig: Covers War
Best Pop-punk Band: Middle Class Disaster
Best New Band: Strong Boys
Best Old Band: The Defects
Best Zine: Balloxed
Best Album: Putrefaction "Blood Cult"

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Best Irish band: Runnin Riot,having not seen them in a while I saw them twice in a short space of time. Really on form.

Best Irish release: Moutpiece-black banana 7" sad to see them end.

Best gig: Only been to a few,but Peligro! were really great,and Boris was a real surprise. Coke Bust/Sick Fix and also Tragedy(despite power cuts) were good gigs too. Was Oi Polloi this year?

Best old record by an Irish band I got this year: The Sweat-no more running lp and the Spies-thinking about the sun 7" (took me far too long to find them)

Best Radio Show: Derek Moutpiece on Radioactive (like anything else would have a chance)

Best tv channel: BBC4

Most listened to bands of the year: Cheap Trick,The Professionals,Mott the Hoople

Best new record of the year: Active Minds lp (still an incredible band,hopefully they come back to play again)

Good to see: Willie's zine(Non Plastique). It's been a long time. Finally getting to Warzone. Plenty of Irish bands getting releases out.

Personal good to see: playing a bunch of gigs and getting a demo done.

Things that sucked: Very few gigs that I really cared for,and hardly getting to those I did. Most of the very best music I heard was old.
