Ooooh, speaking of Irish bands...these guys are some crazy mofos!! www.myspace.com/warlordsofpezActually, they kinda scare me. They are VERY out there. But the bassist is my friend so I gotta support. They put on the weirdest shows where they'll all dress up as mad priests and put on a 'mass' with a sermon and everything. Straaaaange. But fun!

Ok guys if there's only one artist that you check out from this thread please let it be this one. Musicians like this don't come around very often, this guy is something else. About Colm Lynch The album 'A WHISPER IN A RIOT' now available on iTunes. Just go to www.colmlynchmusic.com and click on the iTunes icon. Review of the album ‘A Whisper In A Riot’ from the February 2007 edition of Totally Dublin Magazine. Colm Lynch A Whisper In A Riot [Xcentury Music] Sounding like someone who grew up listening to Paul Weller records, Colm Lynch is the latest Dublin-based troubadour to try his hand at reviving a once popular niche. Having started out playing acoustic sessions around his native city, he has slowly moved up the ranks by playing at bigger venues and attracting media exposure. A number of impressive EP’s led to a management contract and a publishing deal before being ushered into a studio to record an album’s worth of material. He actually did better than by recording the eleven tracks twice: once in their raw electric form, and once as stripped down numbers. The acoustic versions come on a bonus disc that offers the listener a welcome variation to the high-energy originals. Another welcome inclusion on this superb debut is three tracks that are old favourites for anyone familiar with Lynch’s work. Many musicians could have opted to disregard the older tunes, but he has stuck by songs like Why Must I Apologize? and opening track Lucinda . The pacing of the album is full-blooded and played through a high tempo, a reminder of a young Weller. This is all fuelled by Lynch’s vocal capabilities, where he manages to have the listener hanging on his every word. Whether he approaches a song with wild abandon (Two Bullets & A Gun) or tentatively gets his message across (Sophie), he is always using a certain vocal style that differs slightly throughout the album. There are backing vocals present, and guitars & percussion aiding his escapade, but it is the lead man’s vocals that will ultimately win you over. Even when he sounds slightly like Nic Armstrongor John Power, there is enough originality in his tone to charm anyone daring enough to pick this record up. If more singer/songwriters like Lynch, and fellow Dublin native The Mighty Stef, keep coming up with exciting material then the day of the solo artist could very well return.

KJ I kind of agree with you on the Warlords, as I said they kinda scare me. But like they're fun when you're high or whatever!
I like 3Epkano, that's Si Schroeder, right?
And as for dan le sac vs scroobius pip? Probably the most memorable lyric ever: "Always listen to Stephen Fry." True dat.

Genius. I'm not sure about Si Schroeder being in 3Epkano, I mightbe wrong but I'm pretty sure he mentioned it to me before. Pretty experimental but good stuff.

After looking at the 3epkano myspace page, he isnt listed as a band member so I guess not. Similar sound anyway.

If you like Mando Diao, Hot Hot Heat, Redwalls, 1990s, or any of the bands coming out of Sweden, please check out Empire Dogs. They are amazing. I'm too lazy to look up links, but google them, I reviewed their CD today and was blown away...it's really fun, unpolished (in a good way) poppy rock music.

Oh Mickey...I was thinking about him the other day...and it made me want to listen to him badly, but I couldn't find his album anywhere...so I settled for Adam Green.
