The Smashing Tunes Thread (Part 1)

I wouldn’t be best placed to judge it’s merits overall because I haven’t bought new music in a decade. But it’s my favourite Irish album by a distance. Saw them live a few times back in the day and saw them in Dublin a few years back again, in the academy I think. Start to finish brilliant stuff. Lot of venom in it too. Brilliant album to listen to late at night after being on it all day

This doesn’t seem to have been posted before, one of the best cure songs.

Great band. Pity they never got the success they deserved.
Dave Couse is a fantastic songwriter.
They had a few cracking albums.

I had a pint with Couse at the bar in Callanans of Cork years ago while we were waiting for our respective groups to join us, as far as I remember he was working with the Frank and Walters on something at the time, he was certainly drinking with them anyway. Nice bloke, seemed to be a very clever and knowledgable fella

Here’s a classic from them from the late late

@anon7035031 - listening to the album this is off, “burn your fire for no witness”. Well worth a spin.

Thanks mate I need something new to listen to. Where’s she from? She reminds me of someone (not one of the Olsen twins).

I don’t know a thing about her. Tune played at the end of an HBO show, and I was hooked. What a voice. Some of the album kicks off in a PJ Harvey kind of way.
