Seriously, Irish music is underrated. Some amazing stuff comes out of that country.

 

Snow Patrol

U2

The Divine Comedy

The Thrills

The Undertones

This is an article Emma guest wrote for my blog on Irish music: http://thebrokenspeaker.com/2010/03/17/guest-blog-happy-st-patricks-day/

hmmm...nobody's mentioned Damien Rice yet? ;)

I totally wasn't aware that Two Door Cinema Club were Irish before reading this thread. I feel like such a fool. :bomb:

 

Also, I would like to mention that The Script are amazing. Kthx.

When I went to Dublin, they were about to release their album and were everywhere on the radio. I missed them on a private gig on a HMV store, the security guard wouldn't let me pass cause the concert was started :angry: but the music echoed on the entire store and they sound amazing live :awesome:

I shall live here :nice: kay?

 

Here's a few i like and love.

 

Fionn Regan ( absolutely great live )

^ I have Fionn Regan. That man is legit. :wacky:

Oh and you mentioned The Coronas in your blog, Emma. Nice! They have just been here touring actually! I couldnt get to their show but they came to oz!

ah yes, They're so good.

A small bit overplayed on the radio but still good.

 

I've never seen them live too :sad:, which is annoying cause they've played here so many times ( including day gigs for only €15 )

i've just always been busy or severely broke.

:laugh4:

The Delorentos are good too, not so much that song... but their other stuff is sounding good!

they're very good too, i do love that song but

i think i prefer their first album.

 

 

Bell x1 :awesome:

Surely someone else loves them..? :uhoh:
