    waaan frank and walters! they're the only good modern band from cork that i can think of. i have a load of their mp3's but none of their albums.
    My brother knows them well enough in real life so i have been listening for the past 10 years about how well they can play their guitars.
    Its a shame that they're not bigger than they are, with some songs that could be really big hits.
    How Can I Exist? is a bluddy great song

    Mercury Rev, Bass Odyssey, Microdisney (well not too modern), The Sultans Of Ping, Young Offenders to name but a few. Frank and Walters broke too soon I think. Would have been nice if they built some momentum. Don't like em a hell of a lot myself. But then I have no taste in music.

    Microdisney was around in the 80's, one of their famous songs was town to town. The band broke up and the singer went on to form The Fatima Mansions and the guitarist formed the High LLamas.

    Microdisneys songs got more bite as they progessed according to some reviewers. Gonna get some of their stuff as its been so so long since I heard them.

    Marcus.
