'Born into a repressed, catholic, conservative, small-town, agrarian, angst-ridden and showband infested society we're trying to preserve the positive elements of our background and marry them to the sounds which have culturally invaded our milieu through TV, radio, 45's, fast food restaurants, 24 hour petrol stations and electric blankets!'

Funeral Suits are a four-piece from Ireland consisting of Brian James, Mik McKeogh, Greg McCarthy and Dar Grant. The music they make is expansive without being overblown, heavy without being menacing and all the more thrilling for its restraint. 

A shared love of epic, distorted guitars, blistering harmonius pop, art rock and
electronica led to the band spending the best part of two years holed up in a disused office space in deepest North County Dublin, writing, rehearsing and at times venturing out to play as special guests for Franz Ferdinand, Passion Pit, The Maccabees, Local Natives amongst others.

Funeral Suits have recorded their debut album 'Lily of the Valley' with acclaimed producer Stephen Street (Blur, The Smiths) which is due for release on Model Citizen records on June 1st in Ireland and June 4th everywhere else.

The Ralphs from Tuam, Co. Galway play rock n'roll - bullshit need not apply.

Debuting in November 2008, The Ralphs are partly a family affair, with brothers Jamie (Vocals/Guitar) & Leigh Ralph (Drums), their cousin Conor Ralph (Guitars), and friend Brian Ruane (Bass) forming the axis of the band. Their debut single in August 2009 'Waste of Time/Gunfire' earned them support slots with the likes of Delorentos, Fred, Ham Sandwich, and The Flaws, a session on 2fm, and also some nice words from the national press.

The Ralphs are looking onwards and upwards, and are about to release their debut E.P, '21st Century Window' in September 2010 which they hope will gain them an even wider following. Expect energy at their live shows, and if you're real lucky, chaos might even ensue.
