If you've never seen Girl Band live, heard their EP 'The Early Years', or watched the video for their 8-minute cover of techno producer Blawan, prepare to be blown away by 'Holding Hands With Jamie'!
This debut album captures the tension and abrasive energy of the quartet's live performances like never before. It only took two days to record seven of the nine tracks, thus preserving all the ferocity and rage of the Dubliners' music.
An all-male band, contrary to what their name might suggest, Girl Band delivers incandescent noise-rock, drawing equally from post-punk and techno with disarming ease. Dara Kiely's desperate and deceptively nonchalant voice always heralds a true sonic explosion, masterfully orchestrated by his three bandmates.
Consume it loudly and without moderation!
