Got a lost classic from an 80's Irish band for ya ... top song, I promise ...

Especially if you like U2-kinda music

I still have this CD from the 80's in fact. Every song is good.

High volume recommended

1. Bookmarked for a bit later

As you know I love U2 so I’m looking forward to this! TY mr_l!

2. Another one from this album ...

I promise, you'll dig these 2 songs OG

3. You're right. Great song

[Ohiogal]

9. Thank you mr_l

Great stuff and right up my alley! I played em loud like you recommended! They have wonderful vocals, very expressive, and I’m such a sucker for the heavy guitar based sound and heavy drum beat.

The second one I could almost hear a bit of Goo Goo Dolls in it - another favorite band of mine.

I’m definitely going to check these guys out some more. Why did I never hear of them before?

Thanks again mr_l.

10. Cause they put out like 1 album (though the singer Bap Kennedy put out many more after)

And it oddly didn't catch on ... probably because U2 were sucking the oxygen from the entire universe at the time (which was deserved )

So there's not much to hear from this band, but this one album is actually really really solid ... they shoulda been bigger!

11. Shoulda been bigger, I agree!

4. Good band. Thanks. I loved the guitar riff and the violin

5. I'd never heard of them. It was all Van the man or Fergal Sharkey.

6. One other of the time

7. I had this CD back in the day!

I always liked "This House Must Fall".

8. Seriously there's not a bad song on it, IMHO

And that too is a highlight ... the most rockin' one

It's chock-full of Knopfler-esque (in terms of the effects, and being obviously played on Fender guitars) leads, I love it.
