| | I heard Fight Like Apes on Triple J over here in Australia. I was pretty surprised they were getting air play over here. Fair play to them | | | |

Whether you're into their music or not, you cant doubt they are two bands that are actually doing things and getting places at the mo - compared to a hoard of other Irish bands that have been around for the same time or even longer..... | | | |

Well said - I don't really know Ham Sandwich, but FLA definitely have more than national appeal. They're the first Irish band in a long, long time that have had even a modicom of success outside Ireland... and that's purely on the back of the release of 1 EP.
You don't hear the likes of Delorentos, Future Kings of Spain, Blizzards, Flaws etc etc doing live sessions on BBC radio? And why's that.. same reason most Irish bands start out & end up never gaining international success.. their local bands with purely local appeal.
Like 'em or not, FLA have a very bright future & a style of music & presentation that'll catch on in a hell of a lot more countries.

| Fair points and fair dues to them....I reckon they will last an album at most personally..the fad will pass until the next one.....
songs are boring and quite frankly, "Lend me your face"...absolutely shocking........listen i dont deny that loads of folk like them and they'll do deadly in the UK....but then lots of crap is doing reallly well too......
I think both groups are awful and I think in 18 months neither will matter. It wouldnt matter if they were from NYC or London or the quirkiest coolest hip avant garde area in the world...I just think they are brutal...
Future Kings of Spain are a great band, as are Delorentos... The reason they arent getting anywhere in UK is the same reason Winehouse, Doherty and that spade of feminine bloke tenneager types are cleaning up at the NMES etc.....
Its not in fashion...

| Delorentos main problem is that they try WAY too hard to be fashionable, but haven't paid much attention to changes in fashion since they started out. They sound like last years british indie. Don't know mucha bout FKOS, but if Tom Dunne loves them, they're probably s**te.
As for Doherty & Winehouse.. both of them released excellent albums last year, so their success in non too surprising.
And "Lend Me Your Face" is a classic.
We'll just agree to differ so? | | | |
