The Frames ? Pah. Bell X1 ? I don't think so lads.
No, ladies and gentlemen, for I have seen the future of Irish rock and it's name is.......
TEN SPEED RACER
Cracking tunes and live performances that just get better every time I see them. Think melodic guitar rock a la Weezer, The La's, The Byrds, even, dare I say it...The Pixies. I haven't been as excited about a new Irish band for a long time.
Check out some snippets of their material at www.tenspeedracer.com or better still, rush out now to your local music emporium and buy their album 10SR. You know it makes sense.

Yeah Kloot I was there alright. That's the fifth time I've seen them live now and they were f**king red hot ( even if Dermot did forget one of the verses to "Fifteen" !! ) I got talking to them afterwards, great lads, bought me a pint and threw in a freebie t - shirt !!

They are sound blokes. They really deserve alot more
exposure then they get at the moment.
Been a fan for a few years now and they have really come on.

Really sorry I missed the Ten Speed Racer gig in the Purty-for once a gig near where I live!I've been hearing about them for ages and I was looking forward to checking them out-any idea when/where they're next playing?
Ilovehoovering...been to a couple of ten past seven gigs and yeah, they're pretty good but at the end of the day, they're copies of the brilliant Redneck Manifesto. I'm sure they'll develop their own sound with time but they do seem to be doing their bit for bandwaggon jumping at the mo'. Their on stage humour however is definitely unique!

only seen them the once there with TRM last month in Whelans and yeah they are pretty much the same but i still love it. can't wait to see them play some more and jesus i'd nearly recommend people to go see them purely for listening to the drummer. makes me proud to be a kerryman. |

Snobby...what has that got to do with expressing the fact that you like the music a band makes...Its not like anyone said that all other bands are crap except for Ten Speed Racer.
There are plenty of great bands out there are the moment, i know that because of the fact that i end up at their gigs week in week out, be they small unknown acts or larger festival playing acts.
I happen to think TSR stand out in their own way, thats my opinion anyway.
