    For those not in any bands who in your humble opinion are the best band currently residing in dublin my vote lies with the chapters after seeing them live and hearing their new ep

    i reckon The Mighty Stef, album and live. The North Strand Kyzlmer Band would also be right up there, different style of thing, but theyre both sweaty!

    I believe Niamh is from Dublin and Darcy is from Navan. And ultra parochial people would say that Ollie is from Carnross (sp?)

    I thought she was from Scotland or some place on the other isle? Anyway Podge isn't even from this planet so it doesn't matter really.

    they've lost some members and recruited some more. work continues on the next album. i saw them play in the sugar club a while back with the new people. it sounded good.

    Without question, the best Dublin band at the moment is Pugwash - great, great songs and they put on a cracking live show - they are playing HWCH this Friday so if you get a chance go see them! pbee

    haha, bethlehem no youre right pq, u2 have put out some great albums, i dont listen to them much anymore to be honest. but when i was away travelling you hear s**t loads of em, and a lot of it is quite good, some very. (new stuff doesnt appeal to me at all, some of pop, but zooropa is a great album) about moving their money, ordinary band no problem. when youre gonna preach though, i think it absolutely reeks of hypocrisy. that really turned me off

    the chapters The Mighty Stef x he North Strand Kyzlmer Band Ham Sandwich x delorentos x hybrasil Prison Love The Future Kings of Spain boss volenti the Jimmy Cake Redneck Manifesto x Saso The Immediate x Ham Sandwich x Stagger Lee Mighty Stef HAL Pugwash God is an Astronaut Jape x U2 director RoL The Things Stagger Lee Large Mound x The French Letter A The Corpo (x denotes multiple mentions) here's a list of the bands mentioned on this thread, there are a huge amount. the problem with threads like this is that every band listed either posts on this board or has friends who do. some people even named their own bands. this is why its very difficult to have metered discussion on irish bands, everyone knows everyone else and everyone has an agenda. on top of that some of these bands are quite poor, how can people suggest them as best bands in dublin? i find some hard to believe.

    The Mound are a Meath band! well.. they were to start off with, now their half Meath, a quarter Dublin (I think..) and a quarter American. I vote The Corpo. Closely followed by The Rednecks.

    Thanks... was slightly worried they'd slipped into the great beyond. Saw their gig the summer before last when they did a ton of new songs and the trumpet player was leaving but hadn't heard anything about them since.

    I'd have to add another x to that list. I'm living in Australia now and the Dudley Corporation still kick the s**t out of a vast majority of bands I've heard anywhere. Dudley for Taoiseach. I have to laugh at people that put down the Irish (and Dublin) music scene. We've got alot smaller population than Australia but in my humble opinion, apart from Xavier Rudd, there are no current up and comning Aussie acts that come anywhere near the corpo or RoL. ACDC was the best and worst thing thst happened to Aussie music

    True. The only ones I've seen live are end of fashion and I wasn't all that impressed though. I just wouldn't rate any of those bands any where near the corpo or RoL. I may have been a bit harsh in my critique of Aussie bands but I still think the standard is higher in Dublin/Ireland

    I have to completely disagree about the Aussie music scene which I think is just incredible, Dallas Crane, 78 Saab, Machine Translations, The Drones, Sarah Blasko, The Gin Club, Gelbison, Old Man River, The Sleepy Jackson, Dappled Cities Fly, You Am I, The Panda Band... Check them all out and then come back to me! Unfortunately there is no comparison to the Irish scene, such is the high quality over in Australia, but things are definitely improving in Dublin.

    The last album by The Drones 'Wait Long By The River And The Bodies Of Your Enemies Will Float By' is extremely over-rated. Despite having an interesting album title, the music just doesn't know where it is going. Shame really as there are hints of the band being able to create something of entertaining value - but as an album it fails to keep you intrigued. I do agree that there are plenty of Aussie bands doing good stuff at the moment, but I also agree that the same is happening on the Irish scene. So comparing the two is pointless really.

    I've checked them out and none of them particularly float my boat. Don't get me wrong , they are all soild bands but none of them really do anything new. They're good at what they do though. Another Aussie band along those lines are the mess hall. Great at what they do but just not very inspired. Gar's probably right in saying there's no point in comparison. I've probably got a bit of an ex pat chip on my shoulder about the whole thing

    no no, my mistake, the thread must be about band's financial ongoings rather than musical output PQ
    Well if we're judging them on their musical merits then no, no f**king way.
    boy, zooropa, achtung baby, joshua tree ... please
    *Some* good songs (I'll even concede great on a couple) on each of those albums but they absolute s**te outweighs the good stuff. Pop = my favourite U2 album.

    it's taken me 4 months to finally post on this site again after my big move to Hamburg. If anyone has time, check out the new ZooTV dvd. I was never a big fan, maybe because of all the cool Dublin heads constantly bashing them. Some of their material still sounds fresh now. Lets not even mention their live shows. Talk about taking something to another level. I defy anyone to check out the new zooTV DVD and NOT get goosebumps. f**king Duo with luo reed on a big TV screen singing "Satellite of love". But yeah, lets knock U2 and big up the indie cool who never get the break they deserve. If some other unheard of Dublin(irish) band releasedd zooropa now they would be the new cool cluas cool. FACT (nevermind their other classic albums) Also, I was in Berlin during the world cup at the fan mile where all the matches were being shown. During the day there was a U2 cover band on the main stage. It was a lovely sunny day, noboday around. After one or two tunes there was a huge crow everyone singing and dancing. I was looking around and felt so cool knowing that a Dublin based band could make waves felt around the world. I think every Irish Musician and music lover should give U2 the respect they deserve. It's ok to like U2, just don't tell your mates :-) Peace and love cluas

    Aside from times that it's been in the background I've never managed to sit through that album in one go without getting bored and switching it off. WhoMe, it's nothing to do with being indie or "cool" (the computer degree I have means that ship sailed years ago) it's just that much of their material really bores me.

    no, that's U2unlimited As for Neosupervital, he's from Dublin Soutsoide. It's just the founding members of Bell x1 that are from Lucan/Celbrige/Leixlip typey thingy. Yesyes.

    U2 are keeping it real! If they can't avoid Tax how else can Bono fly around the world lambasting us for not giving our taxed earnings to poor people in Africa. Pop is a great album, Mofo has to be be the most under-rated song in recent times.

    I totally agree with the comments about everyone on the site knowing bands or being in bands and how that could make it hard to get balanced opinion. However, seeing as POL is the one who threw the topic of worst band in Dublin out there I think POL should reveal what great band he (or she) is in.

    i was a u2 fan around the time of unforgettable fire and the joshua tree... then i moved on into my own little indie and cool world... but... when achtung baby came out, i was temporarily transported back to my u2 world because it was such a good album... a definite departure and progressive move for them... funnily enough, zooropa bored me a bit and i headed back to hang out with my "too cool for school" crowd...
