    Good to see politically correct bands still exist in today's shallow world!

    Is that based on your opinion of our music? Just because we’re not called “THE ” don’t let it put you off too much. Heart, M

    15 songs is, in my opinion, too much for a debut. The Website is crap. Novelty at best. And it seems like the band are a cross betweem GWAR and Junior Senior.

    Now guys, lets not get personal. Freedom of music related speech is what this website is about.

    ..the tracklisting probably could have been trimmed down. but i hate buying cd's with a couple of tracks. especially since we had the songs. it seems a waste. ..the website is just there to convey some information, nothing more. its all about the music (or is it). "gwar and junior senior"... brilliant :) ..thanks everyone for the interest. Marshall

    Now this here is the kind of jib thats cut well...or something... Anyway, I always think debuts should be between 8 and 10 songs. Just an opinion. My comment about your site could've been more articulate however I'm a qualified web designer and I just think it's poor. The gwar things is because of the masks. I could've referenced slipknot but it's so passé. Anyway, you take criticism well and for that, you get mucho respect.

    Careful Kierry. It's a slippery slope you're on now bub. I know. I've been an unsavoury sort on this site before and it doesn go un-noticed. Its alot easier to make enemies than friends. And other such far eastern tid-bits.

    I kno wthe post wasnt addressed to me but dont think it(Irish rock scene) needs savin at all , think its pretty good actually I enjoy most venues and a lot of bands...just think it needs more support and a little injection of cash and it could be deadly..

    the post is about Retards and should remain so, wont deviate too much here. Trigger, you've hit what i am trying to do on the head. Your dam right the music scene does not need saving, its as healthy as i have seen it in a long time as regards talent... Just going to try and open it up a bit and drag people out to see the talent. Now back to the Retards, its your post guys.

    The music scene doesnt need saving. It needs reformatting. It needs a shot of adrenaline right in the eyeball... I just want to here something a bit more aggressive and alot more confident but with an Irish accent. We've not had something like that in a while.

    sigh.... someone else missing whipping boy? (retards)... i know the guys personally, and they're not the evil people you might expect from song titles like "under sixteen whores" and "who's laughing now?(you're crippled)" (sorry to shatter your image , lads...) they are seeking attention , yes, but i ask you this: who forms a band and plays gigs in order to be ignored? doesn't happen. all bands are attention seeking. the band name/song/album titles reallty do suit the material they play, which (i was surprised) is not just crudeness for it's own sake. they write about unpleasant (usually sexual) things with intelligence and wit. some of the songs are noisey to the point of being pointless, but some of the songs are good too, so fair play... they're doing something different. marshall is a bit of a prick though... just kidding.
