Journalists liked our album upon its release in the worrisome summer of 1978. Here are some nice bits:

"Irish album of the summer, packed to the brim with gorgeous, singable tunes... There is nothing, absolutely nothing, like this record in any other musical camp in the country." - HotPress.com

"A sparky little gem from Dublin's DIY leftfield... with a stinging lyric sheet. Vocalist Pádraig Cooney is both wounded poet and cynical dissector of modern mores and his sonic furnishings of clipped guitars and wobbly eighties synths make for a smart, no-frills backdrop. A hugely promising and highly recommended debut." - 4/5, RTE Guide

"This excellent debut delivers bang up to date, uncommonly smart pop. Fresh melodies engage first, then fantastic lyrics kick in... achingly sweet... the wonderful, self conscious love song The Black Country easily lives up to the standard of Back on the Chain Gang, from which it borrows its opening riff... perfectly formed collection" - 4/5, The Ticket (Irish Times)

"There are beautiful guitar hooks... the production is near perfect for what is essentially a home recording." - 4/5, The Sunday Tribune

"This is an album with catchy hooks, original lyrics and some moments of pure indie-pop." - The Event Guide

This gig is not on Friday 8th November, it's on Saturday 8th November.
My future in stupidity is bright.

Unfortunately, Night on Earth have had to withdraw from this gig.
On the bright side, we have found a replacement in the multi-award winning Pantone 247, familiar to many of you Thumped readers.
Land Lovers would like to apologise to those deceived by the poster, which is now wrong in so many ways. However, the night itself promises to be better.
