------------------------------------------------------------
CAP PAS CAP
"Edgy, daring and sparky, Dublin band Cap Pas Cap play a hugely
alluring post-everything game. There has only been a handful of
releases to date, but each one has seen them pulling new shapes from
the bag. Their best moment to date was last year’s hypnotic and spacey
We Are Men single on the Skinny Wolves label, a pointer to the
new-wave-no-wave-what-wave terrain they’re calling their own. Cap Pas
Cap’s debut album should be one of this year’s highlights."
- Jim Carroll, Irish Times

------------------------------------------------------------
THE MINUTES
After a year long residency in 09' at Dublin live music staple
Whelans, The Minutes developed a unique rock n' roll show to call
their own.
After becoming one of Dublin 's must see live acts, it came time to
record their debut album and in October of 2009 the three piece headed
to Marcata Recordings in upstate New York . Together with producer
Kevin McMahon the band have crafted a ten track album that captures
the energy of their live sets. The record blasts through one foot
stomper after another, from the 2 minute rawness of Secret History, to
the crashing drum solo on Believer right up to live favourite In My
Time Of Dying. Due for release mid 2010, 'Marcata' is a record you'll
come back to time and time again.

DISCONNECT 4
"If you’re looking for an act that understands the co-relation between
classic pop and cutting-edge indie, you’ve come to the right place." -
Jim Caroll, Irish Times
"Disconnect 4 strike gold again with their new single - 'Disco Never
Changes' is a little beauty!" - Dan Heagarty, 2fm
"Disconnect 4 have just produced one of my favourite Irish songs of
the noughties, titled The Disco Never Changes it is featured on their
new Modern Love EP!" - Alison Curtis, TodayFM

BOY FROM BRAZIL (DE)
a pandrogynous one man band who performed a daring Dada cabaret in
stilettos and suspenders with sputnik beats and polysexual rhythms.
Barakat walked on gilded splinters with stripper heels, like the
lovechild
of Alan Vega and Pierre Molinier, during live performances that
constantly threatened to dissolve into utter chaos.

CHEAP FREAKS
Dublin city based fuzzy garage punks have been making a stir since
they started last year with opening slots for the Buzzcocks and Jay
Reatard and a successful tour of Germany in recent times. Fronted by
ex-Things bassist Robbie Brady their debut 7" EP is out now on Big
Neck Records. Album number 1 due later this year...

WOUNDS
"Creating music that is genuinely disconcerting is not an easy thing
to do, but listen to any 20 seconds of Ireland mentalists Wounds' Dead
Dead Fucking Dead and your skin will crawl. With a clanging, crashing,
discordant sound that's like The Jesus Lizard and Fugazi getting a
kicking from a seriously angry Gallows, it rages with a volatility
that threatens to tear the whole thing apart at any moment. Vectors is
a shot of pure punk adrenaline laced with broken glass, Choke is
almost unbearably creepy and the apocalyptic crawl of Dead Road is one
of the finest anti-anthems you'll hear this year. Breathtaking stuff."

MIGHTY ATOMICS
Ah, Mighty Atomics... What can be said about these three angry young men?
Like a mid-Atlantic nuclear weapon detonation, they cross the raw
power of their heroes The Sonics and Link Wray with the nervous energy
of early British beat-groups to create their wild, pounding and
twanging sound. They have been quickly building a reputation as a
seriously exciting live band in Ireland and across Europe with their
full bore live shows.

------------------------------------------------------------
HOUSE OF DOLLS
Influenced by everything from Spiritualized to NEU! the noise made by
Dublin 's House Of Dolls is bad to the bone hard edged psychedelia.
Staf, Conor, Stuey & Jimmy comprise this gang of four. Epic build-ups,
darkened grooves and glorious vocal melodies comprise their sound.
Still very much a new band, House Of Dolls front with the maturity of
a group who have occupied the dark spaces that their music takes you,
and whose sophisticated list of influences, although notable could
never outshine the raw passion of their recordings or live show.
Double A-Side GIMME SOME GLORY/BEFORE SHE WAKES out now on Firstborn
Is Dead Recordings.

THE VAGABONDS
The Vagabonds are a Dublin based 4-piece punk-rock band. However, they
transcend the mediocrity of the indulgent, egotistical and nepotistic
ways, some of their better known peers are renowned for. They drive
through the political and social landscape of their songs with little
care for who may take offence along the way, if this band offend you;
you don't understand. The Vagabonds have no time for bigots, racists
and homophobes, if you are any of these things you should not listen
to this band. Connected Magazine has called "a refreshing blend of
tuneful punk melodies with grimy garage riffs to create a totally
infectious sound" and renowned Limerick DJ, Alan Jaques, has refered
to them as "Bob Dylan fronting The Clash". The band go into the studio
in early June to record their debut single with Stephen Street (The
Smiths, Blur, Babyshambles) with a release pencilled in for September.
