giveamanakick are Keith (drums, vocals, can of coke, sugar bowl) and Steve (guitar, vocals, belly slaps). Having formed from the still twitching corpses of Limerick bands, Calzino Fiasco and Tooth, they’ve been deafening audiences around Ireland for about a year now with their own unique brand of noisy, riff-mangling Rock n’Roll.
Having played with various rock luminaries and NME darlings such as The Icarus Line, Ex-Girl, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Poke, Electric Eel Shock, The Soledad Brothers and Rocket From the Crypt, giveamanakick have decided to record and unleash their musical wrath on the unsuspecting public. Having drawn comparisons to bands like the Pixies, Husker Du, Quicksand and Helmet, they knew it was time…
Tentatively titled “Is it ok to be loud, Jesus?”, Keith and Steve both agree that this is perhaps their best debut album yet. Recorded between a cosy cottage in the suburbs, and a decaying squat in Limerick city by the legendary Mark O’ Connor, the album is a sprawling 10-track affair weighing in at 32 whole minutes. Those who have heard it are known to have wept with joy and confusion for days. Featuring such live favourites as significock, Ger Canning, and Darko Filopovic (released as a split single with Mr. Creosote in 2002 on Rockhopper Records), the album rocks like a not easily definable thing.
Leagues O’ Toole of Networks 2’s “No Disco” has said that “giveamanakick are one to watch out for in 2003”. We’re not sure if he was taking the piss. Hot Press magazine lauded giveamanakick’s live show as having “kicked unmerciful ass, they’re as good as anything we’ve seen up and down the country without a doubt!”. Unfit for Consumption Fanzine reckon that everybody should “Grab this (album) with both hands when it comes out, it’s a potential classic”
Rock.
