Faction has no real commercial agenda. It's a springboard label. Selling the record is to pay for it,do a tour, break even and do another. Haven't heard of a few of these are they all on myspace would also be interested to hear which tracks you think are best. |

I was at the Ruby Sessions about 6 months ago and one of the guys playing was introduced as "ex-angels of mons" so either he left or they've split.

cool, i wonder if they will get the meteor for "most prince like comeback as different name but nobody cares" category and then they'll get to meet Mr Mark Cagney from tv3 the "celebrity presenter"....ah....
the first choice idea is a great concept and will hopefully get a big push this year...

HOLD ON A SECOND HERE!
will cluas get a credit for all this FREE a&r work?
Whats the connection between the last Faction album and Universal Ireland?
Is there a similar connection for this forthcoming album?
are bands managed or handled by Lupus more likely to get on the compilation?
make sure STAGGER LEE are on it - Stagger Lee are the coolest band in the land, especially the bassist. or is it the singer?

I've not read this thread, so sorry to be jumping in now. Not that my knowledge of unsigned/independent/DIY Irish bands is encyclopaedic, but to my mind what differentiates a band like the Hollows from some others mentioned here (thinking of the Immediate or whoever) is that they're writers - poets. I think maybe that gets overlooked or seen as silly or whatever in an environment of striving for a modern, commercial, indie sound, but I really think that's the reason someone will cherish a record, the way something lasting is made, and it's where (again to my mind) many Irish bands fall down. I don't think it's really something that can be remedied - you have something to say or you don't.
It's one of the reasons I've stuck with the Frames for so long, actually, against growing commonsense - they had something to say about the world, about people. They had a writer with effortless sincerity. (Had being the sad part).
So to a certain extent, I find the whole 'promising', 'exciting live band' thing a bit ephemeral, or missing the point maybe. Alternative isn't just the guitar sound.. |

jeeze....give these bands a bit of time.
Lot of bands getting signed in ireland atm....seems to be becoming a kinda tester market for the UK....which feels a little strange.
bit of cash.......few song...few friends...bit of know how....BOOM....ya've got yourself an album.

had a listen.
thought the sickboy and the stagger lee songs were quite good, but kinda generic. (no offence to either band). i thought a lot of the rest were quite poor to be honest. (couldn't listen to twin kranes or p.freyne) surely these bands aren't the best ireland to offer? perhaps there are more songs?
have no hesitation in recommending!

hahah yeah - just a bit o friendly banter!
Twinkranes are excellent - try give them a listen
Also Channel One
the best thing to do - considering its just around the corner - would be to check out as many bands at HWCH - see them in action n all that. |

I'm not an expert on Irish music at all, having ignored it for years due to the putrid stench off most of what I did hear (Bell X1, Paddy Casey, The Frames, Mundy et al), but there are definitely a few gems around, most of them on micro-labels well below the radar of the average consumer in this country.
It could be that there is no upcoming Irish band/artist at the moment who is mindblowingly good/developed enough and will succeed in doing well abroad, but IMO there are a few dark horses with a lot of potential. I suppose all they can do is keep plugging away. |

I think The Butterfly Explosion recordings are very good, especially if you like your MBV. Seen Crayonsmith and Star Department at The Boom Boom Room a little while ago and both were excellent. Twinkranes had dodgy sound when I saw them but there's defo something there. Really like some of Ruby Taillights, The Hollows & Glenwash recordings and will catch them live ASAP. Lookin forward to seeing Patrick Freynes soon too, he used to be with NPB & El Diablio i hear...hmmm.
Alot of those recordings mentioned are fairly lo-fi/shoegaze stuff. If you're not into that stuff then you mightn't get it. Ditto, if you just have a quick listen, you're probably not gone to get it. |

Universal distributed the album for us could have been Warners or an independant or whoever. It would be great if they agreed to do it again.
Lupus only manages Director The Marshals Gavin Friday and Michael Beinhorn so no unless in the process of putting the record together we find something we love and want to work on it's not so much to do with the Management company. |
