Think this might need a thread split if it goes much further into "where are they now?" territiory:D
Roger have you heard Limericks Giveamanakick ?
They're a bit harder than most of the bands listed so far but still have more hooks than a fishermans in-service day. They sometimes remind me of the first two Therapy? LPs.
Guitarist/Vocalist Steveamanakick also makes records under the name Windings and it's much mellower generally. The albums by both are fantastic.:cool:
of the long gone bands mentioned here...
Cactus World News had their LPs re-issued on CD about two years ago
Toasted Heretic ...were wonderful.
Judas Diary ...I barely remember. From Galway yes?
Les Enfants ...were barely just before my time.
The Pale ...are still on the go.
A House ...what a band. Got to play support to them a few times. Lovely people they are too. Have long considered it a damning indictment of this countrys interest in new music that A Houses farewell gig had to be an early evening show because there was an Oasis tribute band on later that evening.
Into Paradise ...I remember them being popular and tipped but truthfully I just didn't get them.
SLF ...the mark by which all others should be measured. Class men.
