Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by former members of the Undertones, the group's second album masterfully balances jagged, guitar-driven indie rock with surprisingly danceable rhythms. The urgent, politically charged lyricism concerning 'The Troubles' in Northern Ireland is delivered through incredibly taut, melodic post-punk structures.
