If ye honestly think that any publicity is good publicity then you're sadly mistaken I'm afraid. Maybe amongst their own insular little set of fans and they might pick up a few more but outside of that forget about it.

Guess who owns most of the pubs and clubs that these guys are appealing to play in?? Middle aged 'mammys and the auld fellas..'
Guess who all the main music promoters in this country would have been friends with?
Finally, the hypocrisy is classic. "By the way if anybody can give us some work so we can buy illegal drugs... "

There's plenty of places for Dublin hardcore bands to play in, without having to worry about any middle aged mammies.

They sound a Grindy kind of Sludge, less punk than they appear to assume.

It's hardcore punk.

Did you start it to promote the band and the t-shirt?

Have you got an opinion on the t-shirt?

Knobs. What's the point of trying to **** all over him when he's already dead? Who's it hurting?
Also, hardly much of a statement when "the information is not new, it's been well documented in the media".

Dead Junkies everywhere.

There is???? And are the lads making money from it??
(And don't give me the 'Love of the music...it's not about the money...' answer. Been there )

You're both missing my point.. Whether they realise it or not they're biting off a big chunk of the hand that feeds. And they're looking for food :-)
Johnny Rotten or Bob Dylan can insult anybody they want in the music industry - Mikey Rotten from Inchicore and Emmet Dylan from Blanch can't. They can insult Popes, Politicians and Used Car Dealers all they want but just don't insult the 'Inner Circle' of your own industry.

Probably the most influential DJ in the country, and the one most likely to pick up on their music if it's any good would be Dave Fanning. Can't see that happening now any time soon !!

Sounds like they're trying to rip off the early Manics ideas.

and even early manics were ripping off something from many years prior. not musically though, else it wouldn't have sold as well sooner promote australian tourism n stuff

come to think of it capitalism / disco / divas / crooners bigger than ever the scene is set for reintroduction of punk proper. Indeed more than ever would be utterly demoralizing if it didn't transpire... cmon kids. Why is the record label referred to as amateur instead of indie btw, is the original indie ethic really that dead / lauded. Shït times

one of the band members is on fm104 now

Wouldn't pay 5 quid for a t-shirt with a picture of Gerry Ryan on it never mind 25 !... The caption on the t-shirt should have read "We want to be famous like this guy"

Anyway all this talk of "hardcore punk" got me thinking about a poison idea..

She was made out to be a a martyr when she died. Tragic Katy is what the papers went with, constantly. Everyone and their dog in MediaLand was out to get whoever did this to poor Katy. I'm sorry but she did it to herself. As did Gerry.

There certainly is. Gigs on quite frequently, and in numerous venues. Some of them tour Britain, even the States, presuambly with money earned from playing and selling records in the local scene. It's actually an incredibly supportive community.
