Come Here To Me!

I’ll do anything other than write essays at the minute. With four or five of the dreaded things at my front door ringing the doorbell, I’ve disconnected the thing and set the phone calendar back a few days. Not really, but I’m not far off.

Anyway, yesterday during one of my ‘breaks’ from Microsoft Word I finally got around to checking out a Dublin band I’ve wanted to give a listen to for a long time now, The Cast Of Cheers. Not even the term ‘Robot Rock’ was putting me off. I’ll pop into town and buy the album I figured.

The.Album.Is.Bloody.Free

Write ups like this one, from Nialler9, convinced me it was worth the right click/save.

“The album is a fully-formed 33-minute blast of post-punk, looping post-rock, tightly-wound songs with echoes of touchstones like Battles, Foals and Death From Above 1979”

You can download the entire thing here
Goose, which has been in my head all day, is the stand out track for me. For those of you who don’t like clicking external links because you haven’t read all the great, great content below this post, I’ve embedded it below here. Give it a play, and then do the right thing and fill your MP3 player.

Still, even after playing that a good five times, I’d be lying if I claimed to have a clue what Robot Rock is.

If I get those damn essays out of the way,
28th April – Whelans – with Crystal Antlers.
looks just a bit appealing.

Antlers being second only to Swing, and not Castles- in the Crystal Department.

Do you see what I've done there?
