I'm trying to remember an Irish band from the 90s (1 Viewer)

[Theseus Mock]

Thumped hivemind — I'm trying to remember an Irish band from the 90s, I *think* it was about mid-90s.The lead singer was ginger with dread-like hair, he played acoustic guitar iirc. They only lasted for a couple of singles. I wanna say their name was along the lines of hitchers or mitcheners (but not those exact ones as they were other Irish bands). Anyone recall who I'm thinking of?

Weren't punk. More rocky. Lead singer guy could speak Irish too (or I remember him being interviewed on TG4).

Possibly you're thinking of Watercress?

They had a semihit (possibly in my own head) with a song called crocodiles (I think)

Watercress are awesome! And I loved Drat post-Watercress breakup.

No, this band I'm thinking was from ROI.

Is it the "pennies down the wishing well" guy at 3:02? I never did find out who he is.

I know who you're talking about but I don't recall anything about them or their name, and up until 5 minutes ago i thought that was who mic cristopher was. it wasn't.
