red wednesday

it's time to throw a brick
it's red wednesday
from now on no more sick
it's red wednesday
chestnuts roasting in the pot
on red wednesday
foxes roam round ayer's rock
that's red wednesday

dadadadadadadada
dadadadadadadada

when red wednesday comes along
it is usually quite strong
but it only takes a week or so
until it's gone

valentines or punk rock bands
you send them 
grenadines, tomato plants
i dig them
which day shall stay with me
my red wednesday
come and end my misery
my red wednesday

Red Wednesday

Track 001 - "Reflections"

It's taken me a while to be able to make the music I want to make, but I'm getting there slowly and enjoying producing everything from home. This one is about nostalgia, misremembering, and living in the here and now. It came together through a sample from a Supremes song of the same name, so it will be a Soundcloud release only.

Reflections

V98 are a four piece alternative indie act hailing from Dublin and Edinburgh, delivering a raucous mix of high octane vocals, blistering guitars, snarling bass and thundering drums.

Musically, the band began as a fluid entity, experimenting with a more straight laced indie-pop sound that brought with it a number of high profile gigs in the Button Factory, the Sound House, Workman's, and most recently, a sold out show in Whelan's. However, through trial and error they soon gravitated towards a gritty indie punk aesthetic that began to resonate more clearly with both the band and their audience.

PRESSGANG, the debut EP from the band, is due in the second half of 2019 and features the singles "Conversation Killer" and "Gracious". Recorded by Dan Doherty of Darklands Audio (Fontaines D.C., Sun Mahshene, Vulpynes) the four songs on the EP reflect a disillusionment with society's work/life balance and a thinly disguised contempt for self-obsessed, narcissistic personality types.

"'Dublin', the supremely catchy new tune from Dublin indie crew V98, should be a major playlist favourite this year." - Ellie MacLean, Hotpress

"With a punchy guitar-driven sound not heard since indie's heyday in the 00s, V98's raw recorded material is bolstered by their tight live performances." - Eric Davidson, District Magazine

"Wildly charismatic front-man Darragh Geoghegan, songs and melodies dangling out of every pocket" - Derek Foley, Buzz.ie

Powerfully uncool electronic pop grooves for sarcastic introverts.
