THE SLOWEST CLOCK - 2-CAR GARAGE 12"

The Slowest Clock - 2-Car garage 12inch
Dublin, 1989, Bewildered Records, 12inch

Absolute gem of a 12", perfectly crafted garage rock songs with a bass that reminds me of the Cramps and songs so unique they will stick in your head for weeks. Download it and see what I'm on about.

PARANOID VISIONS - THE TRIANGULAR EP

Paranoid Visions - The Triangular EP
Dublin, 1996, Wednesday Works, 7inch + 7inch flexi!

Interesting release here from Paranoid Visions, perhaps they are the only Irish punk band to do a flexi disc?! The first tune is one of the best recordings I have heard of 'Home Sweet Hell', following this is 3 songs recorded live. I decided to leave these songs as one rip as they flow really well together and to rip them apart would destroy a lot of the urgency that comes from the recording, a high quality explosive recording that shows PC at their best, the songs are Newtownism/Asleep At The Wheel/Cycles of Christ. Lastly on the aforementioned flexi we have 4 Cough, a classic for any fans of Jayne County.

DORDAID DAM - PRACTICE TAPE 2006

Dordaid Dam - Practice Tape 2006
Dublin, 2006, DIY, Tape

This band never got around to doing an actual recording and played only a handful of gigs (the above flyer being from one of them), pity really, however Lyncher sent me on this tape to rip so here you have their only practice recording. Crusty Black Metal is the closest descritpion I feel fits though I hate that term! 3 lengthy tracks here in all.
