nice one, i believe it! i figured they qualified even though they've been around, they're perhaps not as well known as they should be, unfortunately. didn't they record a concept album based on the cult japanese kung-fu show 'monkey'?? i think their members have solo stuff out too.. here's a discography page with some mp3s:Quote:

Guggenheim Grotto - one of the best Irish bands around. http://www.guggenheimgrotto.com/
If you're into a bit guitar type electro funk check out Blue Ghost from Kilkenny. They were great at Electric Picnic last year - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endid=66034583
Delorentos!!! Theyre releasing their first album in septemeber and they're pretty good... i saw them live in HMV in town and bought there single there, got a pic with them and ther auto's! :D
Turn. Their second album in particular is excellent.
Best Irish band at the minute has to be Oppenheimer. www.myspace.com/oppenheimer.
Really poppy (in a good way). Signed in the States, hail from Belfast.
Republic of Loose are worth a mention too.
thanks a million lads heard oppenheimer mentioned before alright , will check all your recommendations out. Please feel free to post any more that come to mind.
ok , have amazoned myself up a selection from above , thanks
check out the blizzards, turn definitely as mentioned..delorentos also
I have seen them live a few times before & made a point of catching them at Oxygen, where they totally kicked ass even though they were on at midday on Sunday. I would rate them so highly & I reckon they'll make in the UK too & possibly the US coz their sound is pretty current. You can probably get a copy of their first EP from last year called "Leave it on" from somewhere. You can hear the second track from the EP on their website http://student.dcu.ie/~mccormr7/del2/index.htm Try & get into them they're class.Quote:

I'm going to get that album, they've a real raw and energetic sound, I've heard a few of their songs on http://myspace.com/humanzi but they've another cracking tune 'Out On A Wire', if it goes out as a single could do really well, very catchy.Quote:

Playing Cork at the weekend actually - Fri 28th July An Cruscin Lan, Cork; Sat 29th July The Savoy, Cork
Think theres downloads on their myspace site, but thanks to the internet police at work, and the after effects of privatisation at home, I haven't managed to download any yet - have to rely on their single out now pop pickers.
Edit: I Forgot the link http://www.myspace.com/theaftermathband
great stuff lads , will check all these out thanks, please feel free to post more
ok chaps so far i have got a hold of kila ( excellent) cruachan ( surprising and excellent) oppenheimer ( good ) republic of loose ( foul-mouthed , mysoginist , dublins answer to the fun-lovin' criminals, great!!)
Thanks for all the great recommendations , still trying to locate a turn album , may have to wait until i am home next and will get on the case with the later recommendations soon. as i said before please feel free to post more.
Mucho Obligado!!
Guggenheim Grotto's album Waltzing Alone is the best Irish album to come out for years. You can listen to some of the tracks on their website.
Check out The Rags, they're deadly.
U2 U2 U2 U2 U2 U2 U2 U2!!!!:d :d :d
The Immediate. Saw them at their album launch ( In Towers & Clouds ) in Whelans last week. Really good energetic sound with a myriad of influences, could go far. Also displayed some funky instrument swapping.
cheers docboy!.. and casso fair play for keeping me up with the latest stuff....
Director! Deadly Buzz bosco's altogether!
alright chaps just bumping this up again to see if anyone has any new recomendations for me , thanks a lot
