ALARMIST IS BETTER THAN YOUR BAND

Supernormal Prophets - Right up, Word on (2013)

Some mixed meter and shifting times from this solo electro post-hardcore math project — sounds interesting right? Well, that's prolly cause it is. This comes to us from Ireland and is actually a lot funkier than I would have guessed. Something a little different than the standard "r o c k" based biz I bring, so drink up.

Ten Past Seven

These guys are frickin awesome!! i cant believe i forgot to post them before!? went to see them play last night....hadn't seen them play in a few years. they still have bucket loads of energy!!

Ten Past Seven are a three-piece instrumental shower from Kerry. In 2006 they released their debut album "Shut Up Your Face" on Out On A Limb Records. 2007 saw the band climb Carrantuohill (Irelands tallest mountain) and release the split 7" with Los Langeros "The Highest Bands In Ireland". Over the last few years they've toured Ireland extensively, played support to their heros and made jaunts overseas.
Their latest EP, ‘Bothar Buí’ (2010) very much reflects how a young band chose not to remain static but to constantly evolve and move forward. The title track features vocals by Katie Kim as well as remixed tracks by Kevin Blake, Toby Kaar and Molotov Ape and Laura Sheeran. However, this is not just about the sound; ‘Bothar Buí’ has been produced with a limited run of 100 pieces of slate each imprinted with an individual image. The are constantly developing new ideas and ways to deliver their music without the constraints of convention and finding alternative ways to carry their sound and concepts through to different audiences.

The Redneck Manifesto

this is my first post on POS. i am damn stoked to be here...let the posting begin.

I've chosen The Redneck Manifesto as my first post because they have a very special place in my heart. These are the guys that really introduced post-rock/math-rock to Ireland. Without them, Ireland wouldn't be exporting the likes of Adebisi Shank, ASIWYFA, Enemies, The Cast of Cheers and many more. Without a doubt, The Redneck Manifesto have played a big part in what Ireland is producing these days. No silly U2 here...

This is their latest release, Friendship. After a 7yr break, where most of the members were working on other solo releases, this is TRM's fourth release and first release on The Richter Collective label. Its a great, energetic and pumping album with lots of mathy breaks, twists and turns. i will try and post their back catalogue: Thirtysixstrings, Cut Your Heart Off From Your Head and I Am Brazil if there is any interest.

Get your dancing shoes on and enjoy!

Enemies - We've Been Talking (2010)

O now this is some classy stuff right here my friends. I had for a time sat on an earlier two song EP of theirs
(Bits of Parrots / Feed me Seedles) which was extremely well done post-rock style math-rock. Having seen that they had a full length release I listened and was extremely impressed. These boys from Ireland have a dynamic sound going that is much more interesting post rock than the math end of things. That in fact does not stop it from being compositionally complex and mature.  What I enjoy most is that no sound is wasted everything instrument going on however small plays an integral role in setting the mood. I suppose I could prattle on and on about how solid every single one of these songs are...but I'm not going to. Instead let me just say that it's in everyone's best interest to listen or be sad.
