SKINT - THRU THE BOTTOM OF A GLASS LP

Skint - Thru The Bottom Of A Glass LP
Dublin, 2000, Leprock Records, 12inch

2nd album from the Dublin Oi merchants Skint. 11 more cracking original tunes, I have included the video of 'Pissed Drnk Fucked Up' because its such a class tune! Also the last song on the album is a cover of the trad classic Monto (Take Her Up To Monto). And before anyone points it out I haven't the foggiest reason why blogspot won't let me turn this cover the right way around! Sorry!

DOOMSGAME - "WE ARE THE ENEMY" E.P

Doomsgame - "We Are The Enemy" Ep
Dublin, 1992, Distortion Records, 12inch

Crusty Death Metal from the early 90's! Haven't heard much else about these guys except on encyclopaedia Metallum where it saysd they released five demos in all. Thanks to Eric for passing this on to me.

STICK AROUND - WHEN WE RAN E.P

Stick Around - When We Ran E.P.
Galway, 2010, DIY, Download

Excellent ep by this relatively new Galway Pop-Punk band, up-tempo and catchy as fuck! The following is taken from their bandcamp site. "Stick Around are a four-piece diy pop-punk band from Galway, Ireland. Their music blends the passion and dedication of Latterman with the melodic punch of bands like Title Fight and Get Bent. Their lyrics burst with positivity; a celebration of youth, optimism and the simple joys of being alive. Stick Around’s EP When We Ran tells stories of love, hope and growing up. The melodic hooks are plentiful, and the band’s enthusiasm shines brightly through this well-produced record. If you sometimes need a reminder that everything will be OK in the end, maybe you could do with listening to this. - SOS FROM THE WEST"
