Look! It’s the new teaser trailer from Popical Island, Ireland’s newest, funnest pop collective. It’s all about the super-exciting announcement of the release of the Popical Island Compilation #1.

How could we give you just an oh-so-delicious morsel of the poptastical, flaked-out crunch and jangle of Ireland’s best pop bands! How could we tease you with only the briefest of joyful zaps to the heart like a pulse from a malfunctioning taser!

What can we say? We’re the cruelest of pop nerds. We want to tempt you in with the promise of more.

Thing is, the first time we heard some of these songs from bands like So Cow, Squarehead, No Monster Club, Tieranniesaur, Land Lovers, Yeh Deadlies, I [heart] the Monster Hero, Groom, Lie Ins and more, our bones tingled like fizzy sherbet and little colourful cartoon sparks zipped from the tops of our heads. So it’s painful now, we know: but we guarantee that joy will follow.

Could music this catchy and danceable really come from our little cloudy country?

Well, yes, it could. And it will. Enjoy the totally Popical taste.

Are yis gonna put on a launch night ? or an all day festival of pop ?

That'd be savage swell.

Til I ruin it by getting too pissed and molesting something.

Who wants it ?

oh no, it's fine, I'll just grit my teeth and try and get through it. Maybe I can learn to be happy.

Thanks for your support.

YES! there are plans for an all day launch party with as many of the bands playing as we can manage, concrete info will follow in the coming weeks.

it's a joyful place, the island. if we don't get to play at the launch we'll be sad forever

That Squarehead song rocks my world.

It's not a happy place at all, it has severe social problems. Ethnic tensions abound and GDP is the lowest of any island known to man. All it has is a few songs.

and your song is a sad one no less.

This is looking bleak.

Did we mention every copy will be uniquely hand painted and printed?

 

[Moods For Mallards]

I simply won't believe it!

And if you're really lucky you might get one of the ones I did.
