Sorry Annie Lennox, but this is the song that should have won the oscar for the film trilogy.

 

[jackalbion]

Decent Post Punk band that came out with a good tunes over the last few years

does anyone remember Rudi? They were around same time as the Undertones. It has taken me three days to extract their name from my fuddled brain

I have been listening to this YouTube channel for years. It's an Irish language summer school where they get the students to do cover songs in Gaelic as part of learning the language, some of the covers are brilliant.

Nice sunny day.

Some recommendations of newer, up and coming bands from Ireland. Gotta push new music.


PIllow Queens
Indie pop done well, nothing particularly fancy about it. A little paint by numbers for some tastes, but the accentuation of the accent is pretty great.


Bitch Falcon
One hell of a name, one hell of a sound. Weirdly spacious and atmospheric. Weighty and ethereal, it's a potentially difficult listen to some, but it packs a punch.


Fangclub
A bit Dinosaur Pile Up, closest I've got to a grungier sound. Chunky in places, that thick distorted riff is fantastic.

 

[Cian]

Most successful local band to me, although their former lead singer from a different incarnation is a lot more famous (Damien Rice)

Proper vocal trance classic

Clannad / Brennan Family have been mentioned already, but this is a decent version of In A Lifetime without Bono

Roisin Murphy, the Irish vocalist from Moloko, performing one of their hits.

Not sure if this in this thread already. Another Enya beauty.

I recently rediscovered this. I bought the vinyl single at the time. Beautiful.
