Of "In Love With The Dudley Corporation" Q magazine said that the Dublin three-piece have 'perfected the whole stop/start, quiet/loud thing' and that something truly special was around the corner. Alternative Ulster placed the album at Number 9 in its albums of the year, one place behind The Darkness, while Irish magazine Hot Press lauded it as the 59th greatest Irish LP ever made! It's been some ride. A phenomenal live workrate has taken them to the UK, America, Iceland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and Austria. Their shows are notoriously frenzied, visceral and exciting affairs with one song careering into another or stopping on a sixpence, as they say in football parlance. Past touring has also seen them take in shows with such luminaries as Pinback, Low, RFTC, Trail Of Dead and Stephen Malkmus.
In brief, they play short rock songs with wit, verve, romance and booksmarts. In-between bouts of touring they've managed to release two acclaimed LPs, several 7" singles and been on a slew of compilations. The Lonely World Of The Dudley Corporation was recorded in June 2001 at The Delgados Chem19 Studios in Scotland with Andy Miller and was released in Ireland/UK on Scientific Laboratories and in the US by Flameshovel Records.
In Love With The Dudley Corporation was made in the same studio in 2003, featuring appearances from members of The Delgados, Camera Obscura and The Tycho Brahe and yielded their first Irish Top 30 single, 'What A Human Does'. It was released late in early 2004 on Scientific Laboratories in the UK and Europe and came out in July 2004 in Japan on And Records.
In early 2005 work began in earnest on LP#3, with Rob Bochnik (Smog, The Frames) at the helm. It's called 'Year Of The Husband',

”… full of sly folk numbers, post-rock and wittily deconstructed takes on indie icons, (...)“ - METRO
“(...) One listen to The Lens Begin or Step-Out and you’ll realise it’s time to fall in love with The Dudleys all over again. 4/5” – IRISH TIMES
“(...) In short, Year of the Husband is bang on the money. At times almost feverous, tracks like “The Lens Begin” and “Step Out” take the best from über-hooky, summer time pop and lace it heavily with black veins of darkness. The result – instantly catchy music with hear. (…) This is a stunning comeback – destined to make somebody somewhere really happy.” 9/10 - CLARE PEOPLE
”(…) many of these tracks are quiet epics that build to thrilling climaxes (‘Leave A Last Kiss’ is a particular highlight) in the Pinback vein. It’d be misleading to heap acclaim on any one contributor, though; this is undoubtedly a Dudley Corporation endeavour through-and-through, consequently proving the old adage that absence does indeed make the hart grow fonder. A convincing and rewarding return.” - HOT PRESS
”(…) A fine record that improves with repeated listen.” 4/5 - STATE
”(…) “The Lens begin” is especially smart, already one of this writer’s favourite songs by an Irish act this year (…)” - IRISH INDEPENDENT
