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:

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:
