Lovely Review From Road Records:

BRIAN CULLENS LOVE BULLETS OTHERWISE IT WILL BE THIS WAY FOREVER
the third ep from a band fast becomming one of our favourites on the local scene at the moment. as ever the ep is superbly packaged, these guys always put such love and effort into their releases. the ep comes in a lovely card sleeve with a foldout poster inner sleeve. along with the title track the ep also features six fifteen one eight oh eight, killing for company and its pretty much over already which also appeared on our road records sampler cd for record store day. this dublin based three piece have an overall sound with really reminds us of some of those classic early factory records with a production quality that a certain mr martin hannett would be proud to call his own. there is a certain new wave feel about it with moments harking back to both joy division and very early new order. dark hearted indie rock at its very very finest. july 2009
cleft palate records cds 4.99

I'm going to the Gaeltacht now. Rock hard!

This was the best night of my life. Many thanks to all who made an effort to come down and very special thanks goes to the ever lovely, rocking Groom who were played an amazing set and are genuinely nice people to be around and make putting on a gig considerably less stressful.

Three cheers for Groom.

Hip Hip!

Hey CPR, your last song sounded like We're Going to Live for a Very Long Time by Heaven 17.

http://www.last.fm/music/Heaven+17/_/We're+Going+to+Live+for+a+Very+Long+Time

this is a good thing!

 

[cpr]

Are Heaven 17 any good? Never really heard much of their stuff. recommend me a good album by them please!!




p.s. thanks for coming.

 

[Anarcho Munk]

recommend me a good album by them please!!

Bit of an oxymoron there.

 

[cpr]

They must be the only eighties band I know fuck all about.

yes yes yes.

I recommend their second album, The Luxury Gap. It's pretty perfect from start to finish.

nlgbbbblth however says their first album, Penthouse and Pavement, is their best. I understand why. Get them both.

Their third album, How Men Are, has my favourite song by them ever, Sunset Now, and also their 12 minute masterpiece 'And that's no lie'. It's possibly their best artistically speaking, lots of good lyrics about a party at the end of the world which I think is a great concept, but a bit difficult to get into.

After this they're still good but they lost a bit of their identity. Don't buy a best of, their single edits can be a bit weird and not as powerful.

here's the video to Sunset Now, as someone pointed out it looks a bit like a homemade version of Take on Me
